Yes but sound isn't very modular so far :-) you still have to
load the huge sound.o module. Now look inside sound.o -
then you'll see the circular dependencies. It isn't so bad
for PCM audio, but sequencer/midi/synth are knotted together...

No, really, the long term goal should be to unknot sound.o,
this makes the code clearer and more easy to maintain...

No, Itai did it, I just copied it into my patch :-)
