	Thank you. But that is for PC speaker only, it ignores the presence of other multimedia. The game I port, first tries to detect 
Adlib and falls back to speaker otherwise. I would prefer to keep or extend this functionality, not to reduce it. So I should 
better try to find something more generalized and portable.
