The problem is that the Windows client comes with only the WinMM plugin by 
default, and that can only play .wav files, and not .ogg. The solution is (I 
guess) to also compile in the SDL_mixer plugin on Windows. This will have to 
be done for sound to work in 2.1.0, as the WinMM plugin has been removed 
from svn.
