Hello Carlyle,

As was pointed out, the *.bnk files don't play sounds. You need *.sf2
files.

A link to a very good one was posted to this list recently. I don't
have the link anymore, but the file name is:

GeneralUserGS1.4.sf2 (that's the way I renamed it to avoid the
spaces in the original name.) It's a 30MB file.

As was pointed out before, use asfxload to load it.

Regards,
Stephen.
