This is great. I would also suggest

AmbientSound {
fields [SFFLoat volume, SFString url ]

volume 0.5
url "http://iuma.com/Samples/HappyBirthday.aiff"
}

This is an ambient sound, i.e. it's heard everywhere in the scene. This one
is certainly easier to implement than a point sound. Can we do both?
