   PRECISION: in the def the description are like:

_FSOUND_SetPanSeperation@4 DATA ; no section ; RVA 0001ab3e
_FSOUND_SetPaused@8 DATA ; no section ; RVA 0001bbea
_FSOUND_SetPriority@8 DATA ; no section ; RVA 0001bc76
_FSOUND_SetReserved@8 DATA ; no section ; RVA 0001bce7
_FSOUND_SetSFXMasterVolume@4 DATA ; no section ; RVA 0001aabd
_FSOUND_SetSurround@8 DATA ; no section ; RVA 0001bad9
_FSOUND_SetVolume@8 DATA ; no section ; RVA 0001b818
_FSOUND_SetVolumeAbsolute@8 DATA ; no section ; RVA 0001b8eb
_FSOUND_StartSound@12 DATA ; no section ; RVA 0001b2bb
_FSOUND_StartSoundDSP@16 DATA ; no section ; RVA 0001b1aa
_FSOUND_StopAllChannels@0 DATA ; no section ; RVA 0001b54b
_FSOUND_StopSound@4 DATA ; no section ; RVA 0001b4cd

   does DATA and "no section" mistakes?
