only-on-server is a pit full of lions. only-on-client breaks modpacks.
what about choice (both server and client side) whether use only client-local
sounds or [let client] download missing sounds from server (let's compare
versions by hashes and store version near to each sound). this way i can
even imagine downloading of tilesets etc. if client/server don't want it,
it can always just disallow it.

i would be probably happy with:
win, loose, embarkment, disembarkment, city build
for a start

comprimed wav? would be mp3 overload for short sounds? dunno
