Thanks for the link. I took a look at the study and it's quite interesting.

I think that would be great.

Ishmael, some time ago we entertained the possibility of generating  
Windows binaries (using MSI packaging) cross-compiled from Linux. Did you  
make any progress with that? Could you give us any pointers on how to  
approach this?

I tested the sounds a bit more and I think that the wind.wav and  
clank3.wav are fine as they are. Unless there are some improvements in the  
pipeline, feel free to commit the two. (The only slightly disturbing thing  
about clank3.wav is that the sound suggests a permanent deformation of the  
chassis, while the Trigger car is always coming out of a crash shiny and  
brand new.) And the gravel2.wav sound: it's not that bad, actually, for a  
gravelly sound. (I think I was more off-put initially since I was hoping  
for a more "sandy" replacement.) Unless there are other objections, this  
one can go in, too.

As for clank1.wav, it's not good enough (see my comments in the prev  
email).

Should you get any feedback from audio designers, I would be curious to  
check out enhanced versions of the replacement sounds.

Cheers
Liviu
