Adrenalin Module Player v0.96 by A-Men & Adrenalin
Adrenalin module player v 0.96
By: Beta / A-Men
Supports GUS (stereo), SB/SB2.0/SB16 (mono).
Sorry for all those bugs and mono only, but I don't have SB myself
(that's right, no typos here). SB code & mixing was developed under
megaem and SB 16 code & testing was done on my friends Pentium 133 with
SB16. BTW, SB support REQUIRES EMS!
This program is MAILWARE. You may use it in your productions
(including commercial) IF you send me a complete copy of your program
(ie. If it's shareware, you send me a registered copy). This program
may be freely included in cd-rom collections (but not to any disk
collections!).
You have to send me e-mail or a postcard from your hometown, and
tell what you like of this program. You must also credit me somewhere
in your program or docs.
You may distribute this program freely IF you include all the sources
and docs. You may freely distribute any programs that use this player.
If you find a bug, please notify me so that I can correct it. Better
yet correct it by yourself (if you can) and send the corrected version
to me :-)
Disclaimer:
If this thing breaks your hard disk, burns your house or does anything
else, I will NOT be responsible! You use this at you own risk! (Besides,
you can't prove anything. I have better lawyers than you ;-))

ADNMOD.EXE
Yes, I know this doesn't work correctly on SB, but I was in a hurry,
so no time to finish this. SB routines work allright though. Just
didn't have time to upgrade the example player.
AMODTSR.EXE & LMOD.EXE
Use AMODTSR to start playing module in background (not real TSR. Just
shells to dos. Type 'exit' to quit).
Use LMOD to change module playing in background (works with AMODTSR &
ADNMOD).
QUALITY MODE:
the code for quality mode is:
for n := 0 to 15 do
for i := 1 to 48 do
per_table[n,i] := round(per_table[n,i]*(0.975+RANDOM(10)/200));
^^^^^^

Programming stuff
Yes, I know these docs suck, but who cares :)
Anyway, see MODTEST.PAS for example of minimal player and some documentation.
Here are some quick docs:

Detect soundcard and IO/IRQ/DMA. Returns soundcard id.
init_sc(sc_id);
Inits soundcard.
init_mod;
Inits modplayer & hooks interrupts.
done_mod;
Deinits player & releases interrupts. YOU MUST CALL THIS!!!
load_mod(name);

memunit.pas
init_xms;
Initializes XMS routines. Requires 750kb of XMS. Use this if you

Stuff planned for the future releases
- Better documentation
