Re: [Bug-freedink] Music replacements

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hi,

http://www.grsites.com/terms/ says that files were grabbed from
various unknown sources on the Internet.  This means that we do not
know if we can use them.  "freeware" is vague, too.  So I don't think
sounds from that particular websites are OK.  Other sound websites
such as the ones at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Games/Resources
are OK.

WAV files are necessary (but can be converted from ogg and mp3, of
course), because the original game require .wav files.  SFXR sounds
are OK, though I don't think their quality is too low for the game,
and do not match the heroic/fantasy ambiance.

The music for Dink's house does not need a replacement, because Seth
A. Robinson gave us permissions to reuse it :)

Cheers!

- Sylvain
