There is currently limited sound support in gnash based on SDL_mixer, but is it
disabled by default, and i'm working on making a new sound-backend based on
gstreamer. For some time now i've been hoping to finish it, but i keep getting
distracted og running into new issues, but hopefully it will soon be ready,
meaning within a few weeks...

cheers,
