I don't have installed, is it friendly? or is just a command line stuff?

Stupid! [is my friend ;-)]
I'll give you a dialog to touch it! The editor won't change the values according
to the typing speed ;-)))

I need it, I don't like command line to set up some stuff, specially when I need
*feed back* in real time. Also: GUI programs are outside the topic.

What about the reverse ;-) [An option: save the settings for this song and restore
it when you choose it again.]

I don't have a tool for it and I guess a lot of users doesn't have it too. Of
course I can browse my Debian CDs and find a command line or GUI based program,
but they aren't what I need.

Why? Most machines running DOS uses SB compatible boards.
I'll add it to the editor anyways, my question is if this code can be incorporated
to Allegro. Why? simple: Allegro already detects the sound chip and touches some
of the registers. Having 2 sets of routines to achieve it doesn't have any sense.
About your Linux mixer gripe: the routines could be implemented opening the device
only when needed so it won't interfere.
Oh! BTW the uoss.c Allegro code already have a function that touches the mixer,
perhaps you'll consider avoiding the use of Allegro for URGS ;-) (just a joke)
