(2.1a) Installing sound and music packs                                         
---------------------------------------
Starting with version 4.4.5, TomeNET features a new SDL-based audio system,
which provides sound effects and background music.

To make use of it, all you have to do is install a sound pack and/or a music
pack to your lib/xtra/ folder.

You can get the official sound pack on http://www.tomenet.net/ in the download
section, and also look for player-made sound or music packs in the forum!
After you downloaded a sound pack or a music pack, extract it to your lib/xtra/
folder, preserving the ZIPs pathname structure. You should end up with a folder
lib/xtra/sound/ and lib/xtra/music/ respectively, which contain config files
and further subfolders for either sound effects or background music.

Now start or restart the game, and you should have sound. You can control mixer
settings with CTRL+U key (or use CTRL+C to toggle music and CTRL+N to toggle
the master mixer on/off).

Note: Mixer settings are saved automatically, provided you use CTRL+X to quit.
(Compare troubleshooting section (8.5), problem 21.)

Also be sure to press '=' key to have a look at the audio options, which are in
'User Interface Options 2'.

If you want to use your own sound and music, and create audio packs for other
players, read sound.cfg and music.cfg in your lib/xtra/sound or lib/xtra/music
folder to see how it's done and which formats are supported.
