Yes, but it requires setting up a high speed interrupt, by reprogramming
the system timer.  I'm not sure if this will conflict with tick_rate() in
Euphoria.  The sound quality will not be very good; effectively 1-bit
mono.  Having a high playback rate would also degrade system performance.

But some sound is better than no sound at all.

So I ask the question: should I add pc speaker support to ModWave?

There is a PC speaker audio driver for windows to play wav files. It's locks
up the interupts
so no keyboard or mouse actions can occur while playing audio. I sent a copy
straight to Don.
