I believe Ares relied on Antoine Rosett's PlayerPRO drivers, which I don't believe were
ever ported - mikmod makes a suitable alternative.

All of the Ares music is available in MP3 format. The intent was to make use of that
(it's in the ares-data distribution).

You could probably get away with NSSound in that case ;)

That's true. Still needs a layer around it, to support fading in and out, and to
ensure that we don't have multiple tracks playing at once, but relying in MP3s makes
music actually much easier to support than other sounds (unless they don't loop
cleanly, which from what I understand is often a problem with MP3s/MP3 players).
