Audio Task List

[gavin]

• SoundGroup class - incorporate audio_group.xml format for loading groups of sounds

• SoundGroupManager class - a class to interface with SoundGroups

• revise implentation of Sound Priority within Snd_Mgr

• Non-standard randomization of music tracks

• Randomization of sounds within a given SoundGroup

• Implement Intensity control - e.g. switching from multiple 'sword clang' sounds to a single 'sword battle' to free up resources for more sound.

• Sound 'type' volume controls - one for SFX, one for Music, etc. (in addition to master gain).

New:

• entity locational sounds, i.e. passing entity position to snd_set_pos / JS setPosition calls.
• getting a clip's properties from JS (add getter function to JSI_Sound)
• cross-fading of playlist tracks (looping (ie long) tracks should fade in and out)
• playlists

List looks good! (y)

Fixed wiki formatting; only need to "revise" snd_mgr's sound priority implementation; CCed myself and set milestone.
