Please reconsider. Just because libsidplay v2 is not "free" (due to the
Microsoft Basic and Kernal ROM images it includes), that should not mean that
the ancient libsidplay v1 lives on forever. It simply does not support current
SID files formats, such as PSID v2NG and RSID, and cannot support them.
