I wouldn't put these packages into the SqueakSource project "Pharo". I  
put the Sound and MorphicExample code that I removed from the core  
into separate SqueakSource projects. Like this the main repository  
does not get cluttered with unloaded code. Being separate from the  
core code also allows for public write access, which is not granted on  
the Pharo project.

Cheers,
