I don't think I like this suggestion. It is confusing to talk about the 
emulators in the device setting IMHO. Also in the unlikely case we add 
other emulators/support for hardware OPL/make DOSBox the default one day 
we would need to fiddle with the audio device code and the audio 
selection code to select the emulator. This is rather messy IMHO.

Also right now we still default to the MAME emulator, so recommending 
DOSBox would make no sense at all. Mostly because some platforms might 
have to struggle with the performance of the DOSBox one. I think we had 
some performance tests once on the PSP, but I can't really remember much 
about it. Maybe a good time to look into that again...
