This is a request for information about sound sampling on a PC.

We are developing a multimedia system on a PC and need to be able to
store and playback sound (speech, music etc.) Originally we were going
to buy a midi sampler and down-load the sound to it via the midi
interface. Calculations have shown that the download time would be far
too long. All we need is a card with A-D and D-A conversion and some
buffering. Can anyone make any suggestions?

Would the IBM music feature card do?  Can it only be used with its own
software, or do they document how to write programs to drive it?

Do the Adlib/Sound Blaster/Game Blaster cards have a D-A facility?

Any help would be appreciated. Please email responses direct as well as
to the board, since we sometimes lose usenet postings.
