[squeakland] Recording sound on the newest version of eToys

[Steve Thomas]

Christine,

You need to turn the *soundReverb* preference off (IMO this should be the
default).

Go to preferences search for reverb after you check it hover over the name
of the preference and click on the name and then from the menu click on "set
automatically on startup ..." this will allow you to always have it off.

NOTE: you have to do the "set automatically on startup ..."  from the home
screen on startup (IMO this should be doable at any time.
