Who knows what SoundBlaster compatible means. It really spans the whole
spectrum of solutions . For instance a TSR which intercepts the 
calls and translates the call to appropiate native sound card instructions.
Or initialized a given sound card with a specific sequence to activate
the soundblaster emulation . Soundblaster playback only but no 
recording --- don't laugh my audiotrix pro does just that.
