Both of these nodes seem to require some notion of time passing. With the
ambientSound node, you need to know when to play it, and with behavior
nodes, you need to know when behavior takes place and how fast.

How is this handled in Open Inventor, and would this conflict with how
time would be used in an interactive environment (i.e. 2.0)?
