I just want to step in here and say that I have played DOOM with a SB, 
SBPro, SB16, PAS-16, and GUS, and GUS is by far the best sound. By a 
huge, monstrous margin. Even if you don't factor in the music quality, 
the sound effects are much clearer and the panning effects are more 
pronounced on the GUS.

I have not played DOOM with a SB16/Waveblaster combo, but I would assume 
the music would sound *marginally* better, based on the waveblaster MIDI 
demos I have heard. But not miles better. And the sound effects are just 
not quite as good on a SB16.

I think it's a slam-dunk. Right now, there is no better sound card to 
play DOOM than the GUS. You might get better music with an SCC1 or 
WaveBlaster, but I know of no other card with better sound effects, and 
that's what *really* matters with DOOM.

As an extra added bonus feature, the GUS mixes and pans the sound in 
hardware, so a slower machine should get a small boost in framerate with 
the GUS.
