The new title may still be misleading. Have you tested this on MS-DOS with 1993 hardware?

On Linux, `sndserver` is a separate process. On MS-DOS, it was not. On DOS, priority mixing would have to happen e.g. within Doom's tick processing or in the sound interrupt handler.

If you're just making these changes in Linux and assuming they could have worked in 1993, you're just cosplaying.
