Extracting the audio from a Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes cutscene (FSM file)
I couldn't find the piece of music playing when the helicopters are taking off from camp omega, neither on soundtracks, be they regular or extended, nor in the game audio files. You can hear it here at 7m40s:

My last hope was to rip the audio from the cutscene itself, hoping effects and music were mixed dynamically.
They weren't.
Just making the code public for posterity. Using php (command line) 'cause I'm a weirdo.
