The 'reduction' is that while recording MIDI, you can only play already
recorded tracks with SB internal voices :-(

I suppose that by 'Roland unit' he means MT-32 or so. Yes, SB is and will be
very well supported in games, first because it is AdLib compatible. But the
requester wanted mainly its MIDI interface. Even if all the music packages
get adapted, it will still be one-way-at-a-time.
