From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

EA used to do this even before Microsoft!
They have their own music system called "Pathfinder" which controls music interactively in little chunks.
I believe it was first used in NFS 2, which came out before DirectMusic.
If you've heard the pursuit music in NFSMW 2005 or Carbon's Canyon music, that's Pathfinder! It was also used in Medal of Honor and Red Alert 3.
It was kinda a thing even in the early SNES days, at least in a basic way Mario world would add a bit of a drumming back-beat when you jumped on Yoshi
