Some sounds sound wrong.

[JAsmine-ja2 NA]

After having played v0.12.189 for some time, I realized, that some sounds sound different than they used to in vanilla JA2 or v1.13. Prominent examples are: "walking on dirt" and "opening laptop".

This is an issue I already discussed with BirdFlu, almost 2 years ago when he was working on SMP (which was based on Stracciatella).

The discussion thread on BP forums can be found here: http://www.ja-galaxy-forum.com/board/ubbthreads.php/topics/291952/1.html

I don't expect anyone to read the whole thing. Here's my initial report:

"1) The sound when opening/closing the laptop sounds wrong somehow. Much brighter and "cheaper" then I'm used to. 2) The same is true for other sounds: starting of players turn (interrupt), target out of range, walking on dirt (roads), opening doors."

After some discussion, BirdFlu wrote:

"I stopped the time for Hitman walking from one side to the otherside of the MAP (a9): - 56 seconds for Ja2 Gold - 47 seconds for Ja2 Stracciatella

Either this speed difference is the cause for 1) or it is the SDL library. Since this effect also occurs on Stracciatella, I'm quite sure that it is nothing that i could have introduced."

Imo, this is a severe issue!
