This is the correct list ;)

IMHO we have to separate:
 - short clips which are associated with a unit type, a city
 improvement, a wonder or some action like mine building
 - background music

To be honest I have no idea what sounds are in
ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/contrib/sounds. We should have cleaned
this up before the article was published.

  (On the statement print "42 monkeys"+"1 snake"): BTW, both perl and Python
  get this wrong. Perl gives 43 and Python gives "42 monkeys1 snake", when 
  the answer is clearly "41 monkeys and 1 fat snake".
