English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Protracker player with support for external sound fx

XM and any other formats that are multi channel is at the end "only" mixed by CPU to a stereo stream. So I think a XM player would be much different to phx's player (uses the default Amiga 4 hardware channels as far as I know. no mixing). How difficult it is to mix the music stream (xm for example) with sound fx samples I don't know. At least there is no need for the technique that phx used to "mix" music with sound fx samples. So, my guess is that for such a 060+ multichannel player you need some else if exists.
