I think it would be a good part to use a AudioRenderer for SoundNodes.
But the current architecture of openvrml hasn't a good class type 
identification (only with toMovieTexture() or toGeometry() or something 
like that);
I don't know about the new  rearch branch, but I think it would be good 
thing, if we use a class type identification like
open inventor does. And then it would be easier to determine the Sound Nodes.
Also it would be a good thing to use render actions which get the path to 
the rendered objects. Then it is easier
to determine transparency objects, render these at least and depth sorted.
