Hi David,
that is obviously possible but not a good solution in general. We need a sound subsystem that is able to deal with different sound formats and also with different sample rates. You don't want the user to convert his sound files to the very few formats that OS/2 and the Audio HW understand.
The MMIO mechanism deals with the conversion between different sound formats (say: MPG to WAV), therefore that is already covered.
In addition, we also need to deal with different sample rates which is not yet covered.
