Summary MESS-specific 08239: apple2gs, apple2gsr1: Diversi-Tune 1.1 crashes/hangs emulation on song start of playback
Description When running Diversi-Tune 1.1 self-booting 3.5 disk image splash screen loads and "Intro" screen appears, but then freezes and no sound is output.

When Diversi-Tune 1.1 HD-installed application is run from GSOS 6.04 finder, initial menu is reached and works fine, but as soon as a song is loaded/played, emulation freezes and no sound is output.
Steps To Reproduce Boot 3.5" disk image: https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/files/DiversiTunev11/2Image/Diversi_Tune.zip
Wait for intro screen, immediate emulation freeze with no sound output

Or run Diversi-Tune 1.1 from https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/files/Audio_and_Utilities.zip
Then select a song to play, then emulation freezes with no sound output

Control-Apple-Reset will reboot the emulated IIgs correctly in this situation and the emulator itself remains responsive, so it's not a MAME crash/freeze as we'd usually define it.

The cause is that DiversiTune doesn't try to enable any Ensoniq oscillators to generate timing interrupts. It's not clear why that is.

Note that Diversi-Tune 1.1 does not freeze and plays correct sound in KEGS-based emulators GSPort Windows v0.31, gsplus-win-sdl v0.14, and ActiveGS 3.7.1019. Perhaps looking at their ensoniq driver source-code will reveal something?
