There are far too many to list, but I hope you'll find something
suitable in these directories. They area all dedicated to music and
sound only (source code, information, libraries and utilities). The PC
Game Programmers' Encyclopedia is a good reference for about anything..

x2ftp.oulu.fi:/pub/msdos/programming/gpe/
x2ftp.oulu.fi:/pub/msdos/programming/mxcode
x2ftp.oulu.fi:/pub/msdos/programming/mxinfo
x2ftp.oulu.fi:/pub/msdos/programming/mxlibs
x2ftp.oulu.fi:/pub/msdos/programming/mxutil

You just need to find the right place to ask. The answer is x2ftp, the
game programmers' ftp-site :)
