Newbie questions (re: particles, physics, audio)

The only problem I have with the sound manager is that it's absolutely terrible for large files (because it loads the whole file into memory and decodes it.)

That's why there's a music bit in there too, the sound bit is really only for sfx, because come on, that's all you need to play at the same time.

Actually, for the next version I was thinking we'd allow for multiple tracks to be played simultaneously, so you can have multiple layers of background sounds and music.

Ugh.. okay... we'll continue discussing this off the forums.
