Speaking of SoundTracker clones, I recently came across a NoiseTracker
1.2 player program for the Atari ST.  It lets you play sounds using
various hardware devices, including the ST's crummy sound chip.  Sounds
pretty good (amazing since the ST isn't designed to play sampled sound),
and it even looks like a SoundTracker player - simulated copper effects
(interrupt routines running on the CPU) to make a smoothly changing
background colour, the four bars showing volumes of each sample... 

Of course, it isn't Stereo and it isn't multitasking :-)
