 You can run the client without sound by giving it -nosound on the command
line.

 Currently, the build process tries to include sound if it sees it is on a
system that supports it.  This leaves it to the user to specify whether to use
sound or not, which is probably a better thing.  Imho, it is better to have run
time options that do the right thing instead of a bunch of compile time options
(the later is more of a pain to maintain).
