Now, you are getting more compilcated..  If the sound digitizer has an
outboard parallel data port and clock port, you may be able to read the LPT
port fast enough, though I don't know what you will have time to do
with the data once you get it. (I guess I don't know your sample rate..)
Real time data manipulation of music (say) sampled at 40K is right out.
(Even on a high speed 386, it is hard to sample higher than 12K and that
is with an inboard A2D controller.)

Good Luck
