OK, I did this, and it works well.

Also, I have a performance question.  In the new progressive architecture,
ProgressiveSoundUpdate() is always called no matter if sound is
enabled or not.  This seems kind of wasteful.  It may not have much
of an impact, but you can effectively disable the sound calculations
by setting samples_per_vsync to 0 (this skips the while loop at the
top of Progressive...() ).
