[crossfire] Background music

[Nicolas Weeger]

Replying to various threads in the same message :)

Ok, so what about: server merely sends item's name, client-type, and event 
type?
For instance, 'goblin <monster type> death' or 'dragon <monster type> move' 
or 'icestorm <spell type> move'.

Then client handles those values however it wants - play a sound, play a 
random sound, don't play anything, blink the pic somewhere, ....

The type can also be used as a fallback method - no 'High Goblin' sound, play 
regular monster sound.


Concerning sound files themselves, we should handle them like pics: client has 
the 'standard' set, and can request from server specific sounds if needed. 
Will need to check various issues (max packet size, ...)


For sounds & music's origin, my opinion: let's put sounds/music. Wherever they 
come from as long as they are free.
We can always change them if we don't like them.
