Cool!  Won't it be nice to use a user readable fileformat?  It is not
a requirement from my side, just a suggestion. :)

Marcus made those.

It is not the official theme from Star Trek: TNG, but a tune from an
episode I liked a lot (Innerlight).

This should be 2002, 2004, 2005 if I am not mistaken.  The years 2002,
2004 for the Hurd code and 2005 for your changes.  I do not know where
2003 comes from.

Is it possible to share this code?  We need it for VGA and now for
play, we will need it more often for other code which we will write in
the future.
