   When Rob moved Euphoria to Linux he no longer could use any
   function that used DOS interrupts. I looked at the sound function
   when I was writing my eu_engin.e library for Linux and saw that
   it would need a wrapper that used IOCTL but could not think of
   any way of doing it, so you are correct in saying that it would
   have to be done within the interpter code. The only other way
   would to be to added it in as a "C" function in link it into
   the "C" translated code.
   As a general rule you can wrap or use any function that is in a
   shared library.
   If you take a look at my linux eu_engin.e you will see that
   I emplimented most of the graphics features that ROB left out of
   Linux Euphoria.
   If you want to use sound you might consider trying to use Linux
   soundcard functions, I didn't look in to using them.
