[ODE] ode and sound effects

[DjArcas]

The sound a propeller makes is something you're never going to get out of
(today's) a PC at any sensible frame rate, except by simply having a sample
of a spinning fan. You can use granular synthesis, perhaps, but the results
don't tend to be great, and the CPU time you're chewing up is horrendeous. I
can think of only a very very few apps that use anything other than samples,
and only 1 commercial game (F1GP 2003)
