Do you mean relative to the location of the executable? Good
idea, but how do I find the location of the executable in the
first place?! (unless the user typed the absolute path)

Oops.. I remember fixing this. Maybe I fixed it after the
release. I'll check again.

Hey, all of them! Sounds are defined for events like user makes a 
move, computer makes a move, illegal move, game over etc. Its not game 
specific. The only reason I can think of that sound wouldn't work,
assuming it was compiled in, is that you had artsd running.

Have fun
