talk of soundcards is a bit of a red herring in this case. They were just the ideal place to bundle a gameport into PCs at the time, and projects like the #PicoGUS which keep vintage sound tech alive also attempting gameport support on modern systems as well would be like a passenger airline trying to run a freight business under the same banner with no differentiation - they're actually very separate areas with little crossover except for the name on the box.
