Reply to MP3s for d-mods?

Howdy,
I'm starting to piece together all the tutorials and whatnot on dmods. WinDinkEdit is just great (but for two nits: no app-specific help file and no mention that pressing "E" in sprite mode brings up the available sprites). Thanks to SimonK for the video tut which pointed out many of the "undocumented" features of WinDinkEdit.
Seth is clearly a genius, if not somewhat a mad one.
I know that some brave souls here have been hacking the Dink source code. Any chance MP3s could be used as background sounds instead of the screamingly awesome format of MIDI files?
I mean, I enjoy listening to my laptop's awful synth as much as anyone for hours at a stretch. Don't get me wrong...
It seems that if Dink is running on a machine using a modern DirectX, there's got to be a function for playing mp3s by now. Microsoft isn't *that* slow.
Here's a tutorial I found on the subject:
