Description

This function can be used to poll MIDAS sound and music player manually. It plays music forward, mixes sound data, and sends it to output. When using manual polling, make sure you call MIDASpoll often enough to make sure there are no breaks in sound output — at least two times during buffer length, preferably four times or more. Under multitasking operating systems such as Win32 and Linux, this may be difficult, so very short buffer sizes can't be used reliably.

Also note that currently this function is not available under MS-DOS. Under MS-DOS, playback is always done in background using the system timer (IRQ 0).
