there are lots of other good speaker replay programs arround, have a look or
ask in one of the sound groups...

You can build a paralell port DAC very cheeply with some resistors. (PP DACs
are like the COVOX sound system, and compatable with it).  There are are a
couple of designs arround, and some even let you tack on a 'printer thru' port. 
With a 'speaker amp' type setup, you can get excellent digitized sound from
them.  For the designs for these, look in the comp.ibm.pc.soundcard FAQ (I
think)

Best thing would be to have the sound as a replacable driver ( I like drivers
as those who have read other posts of mine may guess :-) ) That way anything
anyone cares to write will work anywhere.

I would like this too.  Similar to the functions in windoze and the Mac

This is Object orientated, you tell the window to rip itself :-)
