  To some extent, I agree that the sounds aren't very good.

  However, I'm never really going to discourage people from adding support for 
more platforms.

  Adding new/better sounds has varying amounts of difficulty - if you just want 
to add a new sound for an event that is already defined, thats very simple.

  However, the way sounds are currently done in the server (IMO) is not very 
good, since they are all hardcoded references.

  I've probably mentioned ideas in the past for improving this - basic idea 
would be to something something for sounds similar to the anim for images (eg, 
sound_speed, sound sequence, etc).  However, related to that, when to play 
sounds should somehow be tagged in the object (play when applied, play when 
killed, etc).

  To me, right now, one sound that I would like to see added is something for 
the grates - that is a rare enough event that it wouldn't 'pollute' things so 
much as to get overplayed.  But could add some nice atmosphere - pull that 
lever, and even if the gate it activates isn't visible, might still hear the 
workings of the machinery.
