We have a test program that will pinpoint the MSCDEX problem that Manhole
is having.
Manhole DOS CD-ROM uses alot of the CD-Audio commands. Typical problems
involve the AudioStatus command and the Pause/Stop command.
AudioStatus returns a pause bit and start/end addresses of the current
audio segment. The problem is that these addresses are supposed to be
cleared to zero and the pause bit cleared as well, when the audio segment
has completed play. If not Manhole, which is syncing to the audio, thinks
the audio is still playing….
