:Wave devices play digital sound data. They could be used in conjunction with one of the above devices to add special sound effects to a game. The Amiga port of SCI uses a wave device to play music.<br>With such a diverse group of devices to support, Sierra put a lot of the work on the shoulders of the drivers. Functions for loading patch files, handling events, pausing, etc. are all in the drivers. The interpreter calls them as needed but does not concern itself at all with how they get implemented.<br>Listed here are devices supported by the SCI0 interpreter with a little information about each. There could very well be other hardware not listed here, so please send in any missing information. | :Wave devices play digital sound data.

The driver column holds the file name of each driver without the <tt>.drv</tt> extension. The patch column specifies which patch resource each driver requests. The poly column is the maximum number of voices which can be played at once according to the driver. The flag column gives each device’s play flag. Play flags, explained in the header section, determine which channels a device will play. | The driver column holds the file name of each driver without the <tt>.drv</tt> extension.
