Anyone release a MOD player for the P1?

Got me a new Amiga and I'm nerding out with some Amiga mod tunes.

We have the excellent SID/SN/AY-COGS but has there been something like the audio of the Amiga? Which, from what I understand, should be simple compared to the SID. Well, simple for others..not me. lol

I don't think there was anything special about the audio hardware of the Amiga. Four channels with maybe some filtering.

As far as MODs, I think the limitation is going to be RAM. I believe each MOD file can have X number of channels (at least 4 for Amiga) and each channel is just playing sampled audio.

If I had the audio code, I'd like to write a MOD player to stream from external SRAM (maybe SD card).

Also, how many samples do you think one COG could play? Paula (audio chip in Amiga) could play 4 channels with a 28 kHz sample rate.
