Your short answer is not quite correct. There IS a linux commandline tool to 
unpack sfark compressed soundfonts. It is called sfarkxtc and can be found on 
the same website http://www.melodymachine.com. It can only handle SfArk V2 
files though. It cannot handle the older V1 format. In that case the Windows 
version runs perfectly under wine indeed and can handle SfARk V1.
