No. The mail archive is the memory. Out of my brain the solution has
the answer these questions:
 - does the server know about the sound (think about modpacks)
 - where is the sound stored (server, client)
 - how are the sound clips identified
 - for what actions are sound available (events, attacks, unit facus change,...)
 - how will events be identified at the client (currently only text is 
available)
 - how are the events at the new turn display/played
 - which format is the sound
 - internal/external sound player

There are probably some more.
