Fast Tracker II does not permit 32 channels of 16 bit 44.1 khz sound to 
be played on Ultrasound cards. Reason being that the Ultrasound driver 
forces onboard mixing (i.e. the GF-1 has to do the mixing), which limits 
the mixing frequency at 32 channels to around 20khz. That is also the 
reason for the 1 meg limit; a program that would do software mixing would 
also permit as much memory useage as you have available RAM in your 
computer. I think there is a new Ultrasound, though, which also has up to 4 
megs of RAM and a faster ASIC.
