The card won't work for any software which uses Paula, which presumably leaves only AHI enabled apps (i.e. not games).


There are many games that support output via AHI. No Whdload-games, of course.

Using a soundcard give better quality sound, less chip RAM usage and less custom chip (PAULA) is accessed which would be more efficient in the Mediator design


Apart from the "better quality sound" this is a bit misleading. "More efficient" sounds as if it is faster. The opposite is true. Most apps/games slow down when AHI is used instead of directly accessing (lower-quality) Paula.
