There would be a link on the home page that says 'Sound support'.
If you click that you get up to date information on the status of sound
support in Freeciv and (if available) what I have to do to install it
on my system.  At the moment, I suppose it takes little more than
a page "this is work in progress" but it would be nice e.g. to have
an up to date version of David Weisgerber's patch with installation
instructions.

Basically, do whatever it takes to answer the question "where is the
sound support" that I keep getting over and over ...

yes, a document on how to upload sounds and what (c) info to add would
be welcome, too.
