When a game has GUS missing, you could sometimes replace the drivers using those from a newer game to gain support. How about a dedicated thread to such tweaks? Of course early games use hardcoded ways to talk to sound card, however later ones use HMI or Miles Sound System.
While I'm reserved towards most mods and hacks, I find sound tweaks harmless and useful. Maybe I'm not using it properly but it seems that the game loads MT-32 instrument patches, something that DOSBOX already emulate. Not sure how this GUS patch is useful today (yes, I had GUS back then, believe it or not! it was Windows that effectively killed this card). Under DOSBOX I found SoundBlaster Pro + Sound Canvas the most pleasing combination. That setup file may be the most useful thing for the average user with patched game.
