      * Aspect ratio correction: you can (also) run at 640x480 without black 
        borders at the top and bottom of the screen.
+     * PC speaker sound effect support.  Chocolate Doom can output real
+       PC speaker sounds on Linux, or emulate a PC speaker through the
+       sound card.
      * Working three-screen mode, as seen in early versions of Doom!
        To test this out, put three computers on a LAN and type:

      * Autoadjusting the screen mode can now be disabled.
      * On Windows, the registry is queried to detect installed versions of
        Doom and automatically locate IWAD files.

      * Chocolate Doom now compiles and runs on Solaris/SPARC, including
