Guess in-game sound could be further divided into
- voice
- ambient noise
- footsteps
Guess the way to go about this would be to have an enumeration of
those different types of audio and whenever loading a sound the type
would have to be specified along with the filename.
The configuration would contain a master volume and volume settings
for each audio type, each in the range of 0 to 100. Master could act
as a multiplier for all the others. A value of 0 would be equal to
off, i.e. the file would not even be loaded. SDL_mixer provides the
function Mix_Volume(int channel, int volume) that should do exactly
what we require.

Agreed. With WE it's not so much of a problem, since it wouldn't last
you five hours, but for the future it would be a good thing to have.
