Yeah, no use in hunting this down until I've got the new sound system ready.

The changes should make that easy. Actually it was the reason I started

Erik,
I would like to see an option to disable sound at all.
Did you know that the sound system eats up to 30% of CPU time, depending
on hardware? This even with --disable-sound on the command line.
I found it while profiling fgfs on my eeepc with ubuntu, which is
largely affected because of i
Maybe a bit of a tangent question about the sound but..
The scenario in mind for xmas is a couple of new proper PC's
(multiscreen) set up with FG, so two kids in different parts of the
house are concerting. In the meantime there can be some ATC presence

I'd prefer not to hear cockpit sounds from exterior views myself , so it
would be nice if there was a way to enable/disable them .
Would be nice too, if engine volumes would really go to 0 from exterior
views .
Cheers

Good idea's John, I'll try to think about it when going further. It
might need adjustment after the first commit but I'll try to make it easy.

While reworking the sound system I started to wonder about the ATC
chatter and such (like beacons and morse code).
Should these be tied to the main aircraft (and hence fade away when the
aircraft gets further away) or should these be audible no matter what?

Hi Erik
One issue I've noticed with the current system is that all sounds are played
on the same channel.
Let me give an example:
On the Beechcraft B1900D, sound inside the cabin is engine noise + warning
messages (1000 ft, 500 ft, excessive banking, etc..).
When switching to an external view li
Excellent news. My biggest two requests would be to get the sound code
out of main.cxx, and proper support for positional sources - i.e AI or
MP traffic. Being able to position sounds on the airframe would be
good too - engine and gear noises especialy.
Let me know if I can help at all. Also
