Thanks very much for this announcement, which is excellent news. It seems to be a TSR "wrapper" which will provide SB-compatible emulation on bare metal modern DOS systems for modern PCI chipsets such as IDH, HDA, AC'97 etc.

I wonder if this wrapper also uses the libau audio libraries which support modern codecs on Mpxplay, special DOS compiles of Mplayer, Quake 1 / Quake 2 DOS, zDoom, etc. And Judas v 2.06y MODule also supports AC'97 and some early Intel chipsets, as we discussed here:

Also, UNISOUND was mentioned in that thread, which seems to be a sort of wrapper like the new project of SBEMU, but I never could get UNISOUND to work with my modern core i3/i5/i7 systems on bare metal DOS, with modern PCI audio chipsets.
