Sorry, but I gotta reply to this as this made me smile. YAMAHA
OPL3-SAx is not a sound card, it is a chip that sits on a sound card
and provides midi/synth-like functionality. Ie, you can tell it to
play a sound at this pitch and with these properties. It can not play
general audio, ie eg cd audio. Conclusion: You do not have an YAMAHA
OPL3-SAx sound card. You may have such a chip, though. But you do
probably not want to use it and are not using it, unless you are
playing ancient games.
