In general, the answer is no.  We have only implemented a portion of
the sound manager for Executor 2 (we weren't planning on adding any).
In general we've implemented enough for games to produce sounds but
not enough for sound manipulating programs to do much.

Yup, the above is all consistent with the limitations in our first
implementation of sound.
