Simple Answer: Not any time soon, maybe never.

More details as to why this is the case at 
http://www.sorted.org/Xmd/faq.html

That FAQ is about a month out of date, but I haven't really had a chance
to do any coding in that time.  There has been some significant progress
in decoding the NetMD protocols thanks to the sterling efforts of
Marcus Brinkmann but none of that progress was really related to
audio transfers.   So in terms of audio transfer, you can treat that
FAQ as reasonably up-to-date
