But you still have to provide default sounds and a default setting
IMHO. This is necessary to test the code. Yesterday on #freeciv:

<bomek> so, any patch as been done for sound support in 1.12?
> there was one today
<bomek> you know where to get it?
<paulz> bomek: there are some links in the FAQ to some mailing list archinves
<bomek> yah
<bomek> put patchs there are for old versions
<paulz> well the patch today should be in the archives by now too
<paulz> but its also unfinished
<bomek> ok, thx
<bomek> bah

<bomek> i like unfinished stuff
<bomek> :-)
> try it and please report your findings to the author
<bomek> sure
<bomek> haha

and later

<bomek> hmm, civclient compiled with sound.o
<bomek> but i dont see much difference :-)
<bomek> it dont complain it cant find any sounds

So one tried your patch and nothing has changed. The patch has to
provide some immediate feedback. Especially a sound patch.
