Comment:

 There is no platform-specific sound functionality in SCI. You can use any
 of the supported music drivers (e.g. Adlib), and music will play
 regardless of platform.

 There are exceptions, as follows:
 - MT-32 sound will either need a real MT-32 hardware, or ROMs to be used
 with the embedded munt emulator
 - Older games will not work with General MIDI music, as their music was
 not written with GM in mind. GM patches were released by Sierra for some
 older games (EcoQuest 1, Hoyle 3, Leisure Suit Larry 1 VGA, Leisure Suit
 Larry 5, Robin Hood: Conquest of the Longbow, Space Quest 1 VGA, Space
 Quest 4, and Mixed Up Fairy Tales). For the rest (e.g. Police Quest 3), we
 got an automated MT-32 <-> GM mapping, which gives satisfactory results

 Thus, there is no action to be taken here, since music and sound effects
 are played in a uniform manner across our supported platforms. Therefore,
 I'm closing this ticket as invalid. If you feel that there is more info to
 be provided, feel free to reopen it, with additional information on where
 you're facing issues.
