I forgot to think about sound support and therefore it was missing.
There are updated setup files in FTP incoming now:

ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/incoming/Freeciv-2.0.8-win32-gtk2-setup-3.exe
ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/incoming/Freeciv-2.0.8-win32-setup-2.exe

I used the win32 binaries and development files from
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/. I'm going to rebuild
everything from scratch now and then you'll get a mail with all the
steps that were necessary to make the compilation work.

I used the older packages that were recently linked by someone on the
wiki page. They got lost with your major rewrite, but are now back on
the page again.

It's now included with the updated package. Thanks for reporting!
