I get around this problem on Acorn by making the machine specific sound functions cheat.  So far as I recall, this basically only needed
snd_InsertSamplesFromLeadTime(int frameCount, int srcBufPtr, int samplesOfLeadTime) {
// return frameCount to pretend the buffer was filled
	return frameCount;
}
and 
snd_Start(int frameCount, int samplesPerSec, int stereo, int semaIndex) {

	return true;
}
but fetching my   VM sources from http://sumeru.stanford.edu/tim/pooters/SqFiles/deltas/sq22VM.zip would give you the whole file to compare.
I haven't noticed any problemas apart from the fact that no sound comes out...
