[ODE] Contact sound generation

[Jon Watte]

But two boxes sliding against each other would still make two sounds 
for the one contact, whereas a box sliding on gravel and on metal at 
the same time would only make one sound.

Thus, I prefer keeping a hash table of <object,object> tuples and 
keep object pair sound data in that table. When objects stop making 
noise, they go away from this table so that repeated bouncing can 
still make repeated sounds.

Anyway, both ways will work :-)

Cheers,

To get around the multiple sound problem (6 different contacts per
object per scene, or whatever), as well as the stacking sounds problem
(one at full volume, then the next frame, one at slightly less volume,
etc - spirals out quickly), you might consider sound states rather
than just generating sounds.
