The Windows Sound System uses EMM386 for its Sound Blaster emulation mode. 
DOOM uses it own super special secret 386 extender and bypasses EMM386
altogether.  Music is accomplished via AdLib emulation which doesn't need
EMM386 to happen.

Until ID makes a special patch for WSS, those of us who use that card are
stuck listening to just the music.
