Open Source DOS Sound standards! (Developers)

Could I also join the party? ;-)

My dream of the heart is to have it as a SYS driver or as a multifunctional COM or EXE program (with switches to run with) written in FASM with sources... So that people who want to learn assembler could also earn from such a program. But, of course, any language would be nice.

And it would be very helpful to catch (or is it called "hook"?) the interrupts which old programs send to the Sound Blaster cards and remap them to the actual sound card. Like when you run DOOM it "thinks" you have a SB but the sound is played on your real device. Or when you start something like GW-BASIC and type "beep" it beeps on your HDA PC speaker.

There is another example on the topic I'd like to submit which is ichinit:

http://www.piotrkn22.republika.pl/judas/current/ichinit.zip

It's an asm program (TASM, to be precise) which does little but initialize the HDA audio card. It's a bit outdated (new cards are not supported) but might still be helpful.

Also I'm very willing to do some testing, if needed.
