Update of /cvsroot/netrek/client/netrekxp/resources/docs

Modified Files:
changes.txt netrekrc netrekrc_options.txt
Log Message:
Completely gutted the old windows sound system. Resulting in removal of
nt_intro.wav (yay!), audio.h and winsndlib.c (bigger yay!). All the clunky old
windows code for loading sound, checking if sound is enabled, and changing
volume is now handled by 20x less code using SDL. And it's done better,
too. All references to "newSound" have been renamed to "sound". No
longer support the old sound menu/loading of sounds, so that got gutted too.
Still todo: menu option for removing other ship's sounds, ability to toggle
certain sound categories on/off, and to control starting volume. All to be
netrekrc entries.
