    E was black magic. The things it could do with such little hardware were mind blowing. And the ESD became the de facto sound standard before ALSA.

      Out of interest, after alsa it was pulse and now it’s turning to pipewire?
      What was the standard before ESD?

        Before ESD? I don’t recall. Spittle and prayers, I think. I vaguely recall having sound on my Sound Blaster 16 in my 486DX2, but… that was a long time ago.
