Looked at the patch, and it won't quite work. First, I don't want to use it,
as the persistant storage isn't mainline yet. I don't want my patch doing too
much. Also, sound fonts are written into the cards memory, and aren't stored
in cpu ram.
You did get me thinking, though. Maybe modify awe_wave to not reset the sound
font info.
