'a couple days programming for you, quick hack for me
(to intergrate it)

You need a function that handles what sounds to play
and calls a sendMessage() function to tell the server
that and it broadcasts your sound to sound 'slaves'.

And then you need a slave that takes my messages and
makes sure the sounds get played the way you want.

This should be intergradeble begin December.

Not my place really, but I think the rule was:
Not portable, not usable for Flight Gear.

OK, I admit it: My girlfriend's just an object to me. 
Unfortunately, there is some information hiding, but 
thankfully, she's fairly encapsulated, nicely modular, and 
has a very well defined interface!
