the problem is you cant do that anymore... you cant write directly to the ports in protected mode. but stuff like directx and fmod and openal can, so there should be a way
Your right, I should have been more specific. What you could do is write a dos program (ie. use a compiler that can create dos code. I think VC++ V1.52 was the last MS compiler that did. Though there are others that might still). Most versions of windows should be able to handle a true dos program. But again, this is not truly the solution you need, writing to the hardware is not a good idea.
fmod uses software (or hardware through API calls) for mixing. And for play sounds fmod uses selectable drivers.
Linux : oss, alsa, esd;
Windows : dsound, winmm;
