You can load samples on new Emu8000 (AWE32/64) driver, either by
accessing /proc file or via /dev/sequencer using OSS seq emulation.
It accepts only the OSS-sequencer-style patch format.
Of course, this is a temporary solution.  We'll be able to use our own 
standard method after "instrument abstract layer" is fixed.
