Me too.

I'm currently running CW in Wine and exporting the audio tracks
 one-by-one, and then save the file as midi.

This gives me the midi and audio files which I then import into MusE.
But it's tedious of course. I'm writing support for making it easier
 since I discovered I need to link imported midi controllers to the 
 audio tracks, which MusE currently can't do...

Wow. The drumstick lib reads wrk files?

Awesome. I had no idea, was looking for something. 
Having a look at the source now...

Can you tell me if it might be able to handle the audio tracks as well?

And (just a wish) is it possible to make a .bun bundle file parser?

Thanks very much Pedro!
