#28 Misc. OPL-based music formats support
Current version of AdPlug player cannot play AGD (Herad System, used in MegaRace, Dune)[1], CAL (used in Shadowlands), D01/S01 (Edlib?), EDL (EdLib), FMF/FTF (used in Pixel Painters Corporation game such as Electranoid)[2], FMK (FM-Kingtracker), FMT (FM Tracker), LEM (SI System, used in Winter Lemmings/Holiday Lemmings game), MTR (Master Tracker), MUS (used in First Samurai), PLX (by Palladix system, used in Logical), SDB/SQX (Herad System, used in KGB), SIG (SI System 2, used in Dizzy), VIB (JO/Vibrants, used in The Copper demo[3]) formats. Supporting these formats enables the playback of these file types. These files can be found in melcom's ChipTune Archive[4].

We'll need some documentation about these file formats before they can be supported - just having files to play isn't enough unfortunately.
For D01/S01, JCH released source for the players[1], which should include information on the format. FM-Kingtracker[2] includes FMK file format info.

The .D01 information is in JCH's v1.03 player.
The ADT2plug WinAmp plugin[1] also adds support for A2T, FMK. The plugin uses player code from subz3ro's Adlib Tracker II G3, so that should make the A2M playback more accurate and complete as well. Adlib Tracker II G3 also includes unpacking algorithm inside TECHINFO.DOC[2].
