Yes, the Windows-bundled SB driver installs correctly in DOSEMU, and if
you also install the MPU-401 driver, two-way MIDI communication with
hardware on the Linux host works!  This was very important for me, since
Wine is unable to provide working MIDI for 16-bit apps (an old
deficiency they may never get around to fixing), and true virtual
machines like QEMU don't provide a way to get SoundBlaster MIDI i/o
outside the VM on the host's hardware.  DOSEMU wins again...
The only reasonable comparison is against
dosbox. Of course dosemu wins over VMs not
suited for running DOS.
But the fact that it can beat wine on a win16
front, is interesting indeed.
