   effects are cut off at the wrong distance. This needs further
   investigation.

-* Music plays back differently.
-
-  Vanilla Doom was typically played with a SoundBlaster (or compatible)
-  card.  It programmed the registers for the OPL music chip directly
-  in order to emulate the various General MIDI instruments.  However,
-  Chocolate Doom uses the OS's native MIDI playback interfaces to play
-  MIDI sound.  As the OPL is programmed differently, the music sounds
-  different to the original, even when using an original SoundBlaster
-  card.
-
-  This can be worked around in the future: OPL emulation code exists that
-  simulates an OPL chip in software.  Furthermore, depending on the OS,
-  it may be possible to program the OPL directly in order to get the
-  same sound.
-
 * A small number of Doom bugs are almost impossible to emulate.

   An example of this can be seen in Ledmeister's "Blackbug" demo which
