    Not standard built-in anyway, maybe if you can rip the dll from
mod4win, but that aint legal.
    Or you can use the freeware ModPlugin, and pretend your an internet
browser.

    Wav isn't like MOD or S3M, Robert, It require a lot more complex
coding and in windows about 10 to 20 % execution speed (for the highest
quality).

    Those formats have sounds in them (.wav & .sam) and pattern data
(like a musical score in .MiD files) and mix those samples like a
keyboard in real-time..

    There are a few freeware .libs, those can be compiled to a .DLL
(with for example Borland C). You only need to code a simple interface
in C++
