Well that confirms the Idea-Tek resemblance.... the sound driver even goes back to the Joy Van era.
Most of the TXC games also share the driver as well (well duh, Idea-Tek), except for Chinese Chess, which uses a simple data steam format. The latter mention appears to be the origin of the sound engine for Super Hang-On '97 (the game both runs the Square sound driver and this sound driver at once!), Pandamar (uses bmi check to enable the driver), including Nice Code and Waixing's many multicart games.
For a note of distinguishment, Nice Code seems to have written two drivers at some point though, one coming from the early 2000's (Strange Pop Pop, Dejectile, etc) and one that appeared later in the decade (SNT games, some multicart games).
