Default Re: Music in Doms 3 is superb.

As far as I can figure out, all of the sounds in the game (including the music) can be swapped. There is a linux program called sox (SOund eXchange) which will convert mp3 and wav to all of the formats that are used in the dominions3/rawsound directory. Unfortunately the quick and dirty tests I did were not very satisfatory. Doing
sox hack-slash-chop.mp3 testing.al
did create the format but playing it back sounded real strange. Very slow. The sox program does have a thousand switches for controlling all that but Im not in a hurry to mess with them. Too much on my list of things to mess with already. If anyone finds the proper settings to convert an .mp3 to an .al (for music) or .wav to .sm (sound effect) then that would be great.
