Question Title:	Is camera-relative sound a bug?
Category:	Landscape
Question:	Sounds are relative to the camera, not to the avatar. Is this an oversight? While in "satellite mode" it'd be nice to hear yourself being eaten. Ni!

Answer:	I don't think it's a bug. It was a decision. Your sound should be relative from your view. Even if your view is 300 feet back. That's one point of view. I could be swayed either way, however. Sean.
