Currently, calling a 'noise' makes the sound appear to come from directly on
top of the user. This is irritating when, for example, making a game where
sound effects are needed, since all SFX in vis range will be extremely loud
even if they are far away. I would like the option to specify, much like the
overlap specifier, that the noise should be processed for distance/position.

The whole point of the noise command is for it to be that way. If you want
it to matter on how close you are to the sound, use sound instead.

Sounds can't overlap, thus completely ruining the idea. The sound cmd is
designed for "background sounds," and I don't see what's wrong with allowing
noises (the only way to have more than 1 sound at once!) to be processed for
position if and only if the user indicates.

Actually, I think it's a good idea too. Another possible solution would be to add support for the noise command's "overlap" argument to the sound command.

For a description of the overlap parameter, see http://host.activeworlds.com/TechnoZeus/aw34/noise_command.html
