This is a Datatypes player plug-in for TuneNet, it allows you to play files
that you have a Datatype installed for that TuneNet doesn't support (eg. 8SVX).

It has some limitations:
* Only "non-streaming" datatypes are supported
* Quality is 8-bit only (stereo is supported however)
* The entire file is loaded into memory before playing

These are all limitations of the system sound datatype.  When/if improvements
are made in this area I will update the plug-in to support the enhanced
functionality.

To install, simply copy TN_DT.tnplug (and this readme for reference) to
TuneNet's plugins drawer.

As usual, all use is at your own risk.  I can not and will not be held
responsible for loss of data etc caused by this plug-in.

History:
v1.5:
* Now supports stereo sounds that only have one channel (!)  They are
  treated as mono, so sound will appear from both speakers.

v1.4:
* The plugin was crashing when the Datatype did not provide any data, fixed.
* The plugin now loads the file itself which is significantly quicker than
  piping through TuneNet.
