Description
One year ago sanguine and I worked on the Apple-II speaker support for Maniac Mansion but we did not finish it. The results were partly noted in the wiki: http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/SCUMM/V0/Maniac_Mansion_Apple_II
As the speaker support is a task for GSoC I looked at the sound-resource parser that we wrote back then and found that it is almost complete. I finished the parser and created a converter for generating wave-files out of Apple-II scumm resource-files.
The parser has to integrated into ScummVM, so there is still some work to do for a GSoC student.

I added a patch for ScummVM which integrates the parser.
Note that this is a very simple implementation as the whole sound is rendered to a buffer at once. This may result in a memory consumption of about 3 MB for large sounds as the piano sound (played by razor/sid).
In contrast to other engine's sound players, the Apple-II sound player was not designed to play sounds asynchronously. Hence, achieving this behavior is rather tricky and needs some work. Maybe it even needs a total rewrite.
