So this is in dos right? Are you using djgpp?
I used that when I first started CS. I wrote a driver for my sound card (an sb2 back then). I didn't really want to spend my time writing drivers for each and every sound card.

(I'm Peter not Paul)
I use the setitimer functions. Have a look in AudioToFile.cpp at the very end to see how I've done it. I'm sure it could be done better. In windows I use the multimedia timers and Events
(CreateEvent, timeSetEvent, WaitForSingleObject)

The /dev/sequencer in linux has its own timer interface. SEQ_START_TIMER, SEQ_STOP_TIMER
and SEQ_WAIT_TIME which is used to set the time to wait between outputing events.
