I'd assume any program which used the audio.device properly (and not just to allocate the hardware before hitting the chip directly) would still sound alright under AmigaOS 4.


Almost every (if not all) amiga prog that used audio.device simply used it to allocate the channels, then manually banged the hardware.

It would be better just to leave the audio.device out of OS4, so that paula-needed progs would fail nicely rather than start writing to memory they're not supposed to and bring down the system. Only when there is an MMU hack to catch this hardware banging should audio.device be put back.
