This is a re-compile of Fredrik Wikstrom's OS4 port, by me.

Sound playback is supported through AHI-Handler/AUDIO:.

Bonk is a an audio compression program that operates in both lossy and
lossless modes. The compression method Bonk uses is quite simple compared
to other lossy formats (such as MP3), and is based on speech compression
techniques. It is nevertheless capable of producing a high compression
ratio while maintaining good sound quality.

 In lossy mode, it averages 14:1 compression while remaining almost
perceptually lossless. This corresponds to 95 kbps for reasonable quality
audio.

 In lossless mode the original audio file can be recovered exactly.
Lossless mode typically achieves around 2:1 compression.
