Wow, great that you're working on this, it was something on my medium  
term list of things to consider.

While you're at it, can you make the sounds code be a proper  
subsystem, and also remove the dependency on the viewer classes by  
getting the listener information from the property tree? I.e migrate  
the ugly code out of the main loop in main.cxx.
