Well, porting over the digital mixer would be interesting, doable very
quickly -- just don't cry when a 20 channel song brings your 486 to it's
knees :> (A 486dx-50 can sustain about 30 channels with all the asm code
in place)
The mixer has about 500 lines of tasm code, I haven't yet seen an
assembler that I can use to assemble it with. Pity C doesn't have the
right operators to express the algorithm in it's most ideal form.
Oh well, I started fiddling with getting the code to compile today and I'm
moderately pleased. I have a nice love/hate relationship with gnu make :P
Does anyone know how to control the order in which constructors are called
during program startup (for global static objects). To allow the metaclass
construction to work properly I need to have assurance it will do it in
the right order. Watcom, Borland and High C all had pragmas to control
this, I couldn't find such a thing in GCC yet.
Looking at OSS, I can tell IT's are going to be a huge pain to make work
with the GUS, bleck.
