I did a MOD/MTM player 3 years ago, but it was a hard work. I deduced the 
format with a few info and a tracker (Making a simple mod and then playing it 
with my code). After some searchs I found information in Hornet, but even this 
information isn't good enough. The best source I saw is in spanish, was made by 
the people of Visual Player for the "Solo para programadores" magazine. They 
explain a little more about the format and gives a VERY fast (very limited too) 
mixer core. But if you know a little about the format (tics are 1/50th of 
second, effects acts with this granularity, etc...) you can make a lot with the 
data available in Hornet.
If you want to take a look on how my player looks go to:

Isn't publicly available, mainly because of bugs and because the last version 
is in the middle of a lot of changes that I never finished.
