Been doin some thinking. What AW needs is an update= argument for the SOUNDS. This will allow psuedo streaming media when coupled
with MP3 support.

Since MP3s have a pretty constant filesize=>time ratio depending on the bitrate (128 bits= approximately 1mb per minute) a custom
piece of software (since I don't know of any software that can do this) could chunk it down to handleable sizes and lengths and set
the update= accordingly and upload them at the same interval as update=

Though it'd be a little chunky it'd be better than downloading the whole of somthing when you only want to hear certain parts, or
putting audio to out JPEG web feeds.

Also, it could be used with another software implementation to randomize sounds. Take for instance, a virtual battlefield. Guns
don't all sound the same. By uploading random sounds, you could produce random volleys of weaponry as background noises.
