For what it's worth, making SoundPlugin external doesn't seem like that
big of a deal for me.  I know it's just an example, but for this
example, who cares?

I'd definately like a choice in *future* plugins.  Then again, on Unix,
I don't see the big deal about making everything external.  The internal
plugins stuff seems aimed towards platforms where internal plugins are
a pain.  Arguably, we don't need to support at it all on Unix....
