Steve, I leave the design and implementation of the sound and music system
up to you (:
the only caveat is i'd like our game to have 3d positional sound effects (or
at least we can try it out and see how it fits into our game)
And if something seems cool to you, I just suggest profiling before deciding
not to do it because it will be too slow (ie don't hold back until you
profile! :P)
Also if something is really cool but it IS really expensive (CPU or memory
wise) to do, we can always save it for special situations, like we could
have a simpler area graphically to allow for the sound to be more intricate
if it makes sense (ie echoey cave sounds or something).
(:
