Forgive me if I haven't been paying enough attention, but AFAICT,
you want to push data straight to the sound card, bypassing the
voice system (and whatever mixer is being used). Can you not just
reserve a single voice and use the voice functions? Presumably
Allegro's mixer outputs as-clean-as-possible when there is only one
voice in effect. Or is there too much latency or whatnot?
Maybe you want control over the sample format used by the sound
card, or to work with whatever sample format the card is using?
