Sound Any sound modders?

I have extensive experience, archive to work from and all the softwear to do so.
I made sounds for Gearbox, Infinity Ward and Illusion Softworks. I am currently working for Bestway on a contract basis. I would love to help if you find my references good enough.
The only problem is I dont have an SDK for RO. Although I dont necesserily need one. You can send me the extracted sound files via icq or even email.
In order to make the sounds work I need to see the original *.wav or otherwise I have no clue as to the type of sound (streamed, dual-channeled etc,) I am dealing with.

How many sound channels are in the game, you know?

- How big are the individual sound files? Is there an upper limit?
- Do the sounds have the echo included or have a second sound channel for decay?
- How many sound channels can be played simultaniously? Like when the engine is running and you can hear the tracks also that must be two sound channels or mixed into one streamed sound file. (I would do it in two individual sound channels to have clarity). If there is ambient running simultaniously that is a third channel and so on.

That is why I would love to have some sound samples. (I dont have an official copy of the game yet so I can't download the SDK as just yet which in terms means I have no access to extracted sound files in *.wav) Could you send me some sound files to look at?

- Sound files are contained in packages (uncompressed) AFAIK there is no limit on size but it still isn't recommended to have massive files as I'd imagine it would put a strain on the hardware

- There are several EAX effects and limited echo, gain, decay effects that can be done in game/code. Again Hardware dependant.

- Hardware dependant, I think the standard is 32 voices. These sound effects are called apon in coding script etc and don't function in channels besides whatever the engine puts out (stereo - 5.1 surround) And 3d directional sound.

I'm going to be busy all weekend so you'll have to ask someone else to send you some samples.
