Nice. I had not realized this. Could definitely do six independent PCM voices then!

If you control a PCM stream, you can put as many voices as you want in it. You won't need multiple sound channels in that regard. I'm only using them here to increase my sample size.

We luck out again, because the noise channel can actually be used as that sixth channel. See, the way the noise algorithm works, the first 7 samples generated during a sequence will always be 63, the maximum value. And the sequence is reset whenever the tap location is configured. So if we just set the tap location every time we update the volume, we get a constant high signal out of the noise channel!

I'd send him an email... most likely his database needs to be updated, or possibly the files you're using aren't the exact ones that are in the database (if they're padded differently or something). IIRC, files under a certain size were supposed to run without limitation, but maybe that's not the case anymore.

Have you tried Mednafen? It looks like it'll run on OSX, and is probably a more accurate emulator (I haven't really been following Mac emulators, but I don't think ViBE has had much development in quite a while).
