Trying to organize SDL Quake's mess

[JasonX]

So, i'm trying to get SDL Quake organized, by removing unused and obsolete code. Based on the popular SDL Quake codebase, which of those files are safe to remove? vid_win.c, snd_dma.c, etc. They all seem useless since SDL was implemented. Or am i wrong?

Labeling something as a 'mess' requires you to have at least a basic understanding of what it is and that you are asking whether snd_dma.c can be removed from it proves that you actually don't. Did you even try to compile it by removing it? snd_dma.c is the main snd module so no, you aren't supposed to remove it. (Speaking of sound code in it, SDLQuake has a seriously buggy snd_sdl module which will make the engine to occasionally Sys_Error().)
