Sorry for being late. The application DxWnd is able to make Pod run on a window.
Regarding the music:
Took a lot of work but I got the music working using a workaround involving a file called "LECMUSIC.DLL" (place it in the game directory) and converting the MP3 track to OGG. (for OGG no more than 96kbps is needed)
It's the same workaround method used to make music from the game "Outlaws" work. It's something related to WINMM.DLL, google all of these and you'll find it.
Regarding the car engine sound fx:
The car engines sound different in Pod Gold than they sounded in the stock 1.0 version. According to some, including me, they sound worse. To use the old engine sounds, simply replace the file FIX.MEG located in the DATA/RESSON directory.
I went ahead and uploaded a ZIP with all these fixes combined in a single download link, it's here (game files not included, no pirated game assets here) Simply copy and replace files inside your game directory.
