All important stuff for the hardware OPL output is in the file
src/realopl.cpp inside the AdPlug core library. The hardware-writing
methods there are detect() and hardwrite().

The Winamp plugin does not touch the hardware OPL itself, so you
shouldn't need to look there. All work is done by the core library.

Hm. Seems either your driver doesn't support it or your card does not
have a hardware mixer for the OPL chip. In the latter case, sound should
always be hearable as the OPL doesn't have an output mixer itself and
plays everything at full volume. Though more likely would be that your
driver doesn't support the OPL mixer control and the volume is always
turned off, so you don't hear anything.

Good luck on your experiments! And if you find out something, i'd be
happy to include it in AdPlug.
