The post above is copy-pasted from the description here, and it's much more readable with the formatting on its original source:

Code blocks are a thing.

I gave up reading the post despite it being interesting because of the poor formatting, heh.

Could the OP post a video showing how it sounds?

Just a quick note to say that Freedoom's DMXGUS lump is generated in a way that fixes this bug. It's also generated based on statistical data collected about music from various different well-known fan-made WAD files, so in addition to fixing the bug it sounds better a lot of the time too. 

 

In particular uh, if you're ever for some reason building a retro PC with a real GUS card that only has 256KB of RAM onboard instead of the full 1MB, give the Freedoom DMXGUS lump a try. It scales down pretty well.

I wouldn't have called it plagiarism, just forwarding of information. Not providing a link and giving it in a less informative manner was a bit off but life goes on.
