You hang out in the wrong places :) j/k I really don't think that .mod is very
cpu intensive to perform though, I've seen games on my old computers
(486/Pentium) that used mere 1-6% of those cpus to do mod decoding (the really
efficient ones). So I know it can be done...Obviously .wav seems to be a popular
thing, it's just horribly ineffecient, we should entice people to use a more
efficient format...

Muwhahahaa, maybe. But, I will ensure that twilight has ogg/vorbis support one
way or another :) If we do support .wav music, I would say that quake3's 16-bit
22khz mono .wav support only would be ideal, we could then entice people to use
ogg/vorbis since they could use something other than 16-bit mono 22khz if they
wanted better quality sound :)
