      like graphics have sets so that the client can choose which set to play with.

  Note that ideally, the sound files shouldn't change very often, and thus the 
size of them should be less an issue (download once and not again).

  I do wonder if having different sets is a good idea - it would seem to dilute 
effort - now granted, I'm not sure how the new sounds show up (people composing 
them, people gathering them, whatever).

  But I'd also make the case the alternate sounds can be handled much easier 
than alternate images - as I've said before, if you are missing a few sounds, 
its hardly the end of the world.

  Thus, you could just as easily have a different directories for the different 
sounds, and the client user just says which one to use (sounds-standard, 
sounds-eerie, etc).
