I agree with Joe, we're going to want a "play_file (filename)" sort of
API whatever system we choose to use. As long as its that simple, I
don't see the problem of making one now and hiding the details of the
implementation. This just doesn't seem that hard.

I use swoosh sounds for my panel, and sounds for a couple other events,
and even though it wouldn't be the end of the world if they stopped
happening...well darnit, I like 'em.
