Thank you for the link, this page is useful indeed.
About the event driven ambient sound, I suggest to have very short sounds, so 
that we can play multiple of them without any bloating the sound ambiance. We 
could start from the center of screen and play all sound until the limit is 
reached, and drop any other sound. In this case, it is better to go for wave 
files.

I suggest that we mix in software, as we already do for music. If we have a 
hard limit on the amount of sound, we can have an efficient implementation by 
loading wave files in memory and then mixing in real time. That way, we could 
have sound farther away be more quite, and even put some parametric low pass 
filter so that away sound seem more away (higher frequencies are transmitted 
transmit less on longer distances).

I am willing to try to get some sound, so that we can discuss about ambiance 
and even have some data to prototype implementation.

Have a nice day,

Steph
