The SoundBlaster Developer Kit omits some important information about
how to drive the card directly. Instead, they just tell you how to use their 
library routines. ("If we don't let you do it, you don't want to do it.")

Example: In reading from the DSP, you do what the SDK says on page 7-5 only 
after sending the command 20h. I figured that out by disassembling parrot.exe.

Before I go disassembling everything else in sight, does anybody know 
the rest of the omitted commands: e.g. Write command, Speaker on/off, etc.?
