+When using OPL MIDI playback, this environment variable specifies an
+OPL backend driver to use.  Valid options are "SDL" for an SDL-based
+software emulated OPL chip, "Linux" for the Linux hardware OPL driver,
+and "OpenBSD" for the OpenBSD/NetBSD hardware OPL driver.
+
+Generally speaking, a real hardware OPL chip sounds better than software
+emulation; however, modern machines do not often include one.  If
+present, it may still require extra work to set up and elevated
+security privileges to access.
