The Linux emulation currently has no sound support (but it's 2nd on my
list-of-things-to-do). However, Netscape should try to play music through
external programs, so this should just be a matter of providing these
external programs. The best way to do this would be via a .mailcap file
(this should be documented somewhere..)
