Cool yeah. Honestly in terms of surround sound stuff I don't really know too much. So this will be a learning process for me too. XD

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).

Well I would start out with a basic play function for level music.
The way FMOD splits it up, is you have different audio function
calls for music you want to stream as you go (like level
background music), and then ones that get loaded directly into
memory in full to play right away or even multiple times (like
sound fx and whatnot). What I could do is write functions to
allow us to control playback a bit closer. We could have volume
oscillate, or have the music cut in and out (like a glitch), weird
effects, and other stuff I have not even thought of. We don't
want to bog down the engine too much with on the fly audio
processing, but maybe some simple stuff would be ok. Most of all,
this will be stuff that the creative team, kent, and alan will
want to consider, because it will directly affect the
psychological flow of the game.
Also, we could have different playback functions for sound effects
to control different aspects of them, and have them play differently.
In any case, the first step is just the basic Sound_Play()
function that alan talked about. This is what I will start on.
But once that is done, we can make more complicated ones.

I'll want to talk to you guys regarding how you want to
implement
that. We could have different kinds of plays depending on
how you
want the music file to play/interact with the level.. ;)
