Hmmm.. The best shot is probably to call int 19 after you have initialized
your soundhardware.. But no himem.sys or equal may be loaded.

To test it try this :
1) Boot dos.. (don't load other drivers than the sound init.)
2) start debug
3)
    at the "-" prompt type
        "a <enter>"
        "int 19 <enter>"
        "<enter>"
        "g <enter>"

4) Choose BSD at the bootloader.
