Not to tick off Vlad, but the only application I have heard that will do something like this is SoundFX 2000. It will (as far as I have read) redirect YM3812 (OPL2) - aka Adlib - commands directly to the OPL2-or-compatible-or-emulated chip on your sound card. But that's all it does it for.

Actually it also does the EMU8k/EMU10k (whichever) that some games/trackers can use for custom MIDI wavetable synthesis + DSP effects. Registered version onky. 😀 But then again, GIVEIO.SYS does the same thing (although it efectively disables VDMSound as well).
In any case, why would you want a wrapper for SB?! The only reason(s) why VDMSound does not work with some games is independent of the actual SB emulation (in 99% of the cases it's some sort of Windows bug). And a "wrapper" would also require exclusive access to your soundcard (which means you wouldn't be able to use your soundcard while a DOS game is playing, e.g. for audio e-mail notification). So I really see no point in wrappers/bridges, it's more effort for less return -- why even bother thinking about it?!
