I've run all of them that did not have clear sound with Hatari Git, also 
with Hatari v2.3.1.

(I tested them with EmuTOS v1.1.1 512k version as that's supported by 
both Hatari versions, and boots *much* faster than TOS v4.)

As audio in all of these has regressed, issue is not DSP related:
* An cool: The Keff demo
* Brainstorm: Mouse
* ICE: Tron2001 [1]
* Opium: Falcon Flight
* Rabenauge: Chipo Django 1 [2]
* The Respectables: Cebit 93 demo
* Trio: 124 beers later

[1] This has regressed also otherwise.  It shows just the intro stuff at 
beginning, but exit when its tron2001 game demo should start.  It's not 
recent regression though as same issue is there with v2.3.1.

[2] This works both on STE & Falcon, so if you want to compare those 
too, it might be good to test against 16Mhz 030 STE.  IMHO you hear 
issue best at start of "Red Drops" song (press "3" for it).


If these had audio issues, diff was not clear enough for me to hear:
* DHS: 4orce (4K)
* Impulse: Bugs from Outer Space [3]
* New Beat: Flu (4K)

Anders, as I assume you to be familiar with "4orce", maybe you could 
check it better?  :-)

[3] I thought it had sound also in rest of the demo, not just start, but 
that's same with v2.3.1.  Maybe it has same issue as Opium's "Chrome 
Dragon", which has been missing music completely since v1.8?
