The following demoscene productions have been confirmed to have popping artifacts in their music playback with the Gravis Ultrasound. This list confirms that the artifacts are not DOSBox bugs, because they happen on real hardware too.

Crystal Dream II * A few pops and crackles audible on one of the instruments * Not a DOSBox bug. Real hardware exhibits the same audible artifact

Juice * Title screen music is full of quiet clicking/popping artifacts * Not a DOSBox bug. Real hardware exhibits the same audible artifact * Clicking/popping is much less audible once the music picks up

I just posted a visual confirmation that the pops and crackles in GUS music on DOSBox-X are identical to real hardware.
