[comp.sys.mac] Need info on 'SND ' resources...

I've been reading now and then about these 'SND ' resources that can be 
installed in HyperCard...I wonder if someone could clue me in on the source
and the format for such sound resources.  I am writing a program to teach 
some aspects of music composition, and I would like my output to go not only 
out a serial port in a MIDI format (which I have down pat) but also to the 
internal speaker as an option.  I have the Mac sound driver working just 
fine, but all I have right now in the way of wave forms are the ones that 
I can generate by simple means (sine, square wave, etc).  I would like 
users of my program to be able to install their own instrument sounds 
if they would like to, so if there is some kind of well-known standard 
for 'SND ' resources I would like to know about it.  Any advice?  By the 
way, has anyone come up with anything better than the Sound Driver, like 
maybe with more than four voices?
