One of the major uses of Soundtracker is to produce scores for demos/games
or whatever. In order for this to work the player routine must be called in a 
50Hz vertical blank interrupt. As far as I can make out, the MED player routine 
functions as a separate task, and so will not work in a program where the
system call Forbid() has been made to turn off multitasking (ie games, demos...)
Or am I showing my ignorance again?
Comments? Help?
