The SD2 file format is now supported by utilities and sound input
opcodes in the current CVS sources; note that the file name must have
an extension of ".sd2" (case insensitive) for this to work, otherwise
the file would not be recognized as SD2.
Also, the file format is printed correctly as "SD2" rather than
"unknown".
