Hoi,
There are quite a few sound files and there will be many more given that 
some great functionality is developed in the "Shtooka" software. The 
notion that these files are not desperately useful for some.. is also 
true the other way around. For some the images are not desperately 
useful and it is the sound files that are of interest.
Thanks,
    GerardM
