Summary: SFX/Music from Amiga files

Initial Comment:
I think, the Amiga versions of MI2 and FOA uses Midi
similar to the mt32 version from the PC version but
with fewer instruments. The actual midi instruments are
stored as a multisample wavetable in amiga1.ims etc. If
midi output is selected, e.g. "-ewindows", you could
experimentaly treat the "AMI " tag like the "ROL "
equivalent in the PC versions. It's probably better
than no sound at all. Not that simple is probably the
use of the amiga1.ims etc. files in order to produce
the original sounds, which also includes some sfx in MI2.

As I know MI1 does a different way. All music are MODs
in the Rainbow Arts format.

A few more titles that will require MOD format support of 
some type:
The music in indy3 and loom is in MOD style format, more 
information can be found at 
http://qmt.ath.cx/~quietust/scumm/v3sound/
The music in simon1 used Protracker mod format.

We still know nothing about music/sfx format of maniac and 
zak.

According the recent forum posts the sound effects in the 
*.ims files are just uncompressed signed 8 bit sample data.
And I expect their same rate would be 11000Hz

OK ScummVM now treats AMI music resources in MI2 as 
ROL and the music sounds fairly good.

Any ideas on what music/sound formats were used by Amiga 
versions of INDY3, LOOM, MM or ZAK  ?

To be exact, the music for the Amiga version of MI1 is in
TFMX format. There is a GPL'ed player for this format
available at http://darkstar.tabu.uni-bonn.de/~neo/tfmx.html.
