In the case of Monkey Island 2 for Amiga the sound is stored in MIDI
format, but the header code is "AMI " instead of "SOU ". The problem
is that the instrumentation is non-standard. The instruments seem to be
stored as samples in .ims files. They start with PLIB and contain
LHDR PDAT PTCH PHDR and SDAT chunks.
