Are soundfiles created in etoys available for use by other activities? Or are they only accessible within etoys projects?
There is currently no simple way to export the sounds. Not even to files, let alone to the Journal.
It would probably be just a few lines of Squeak code, but there is now UI for it.
It would be wonderful if etoys soundfiles could be individually saved to the Journal (and the same for the output of etoy's sound editor - with its looping capacity).
(It is also very nice that etoys can create both Ogg Vorbis format and wav.)
If exportable to the Journal, both the FileMix and FileMixAuto activities could make good use of these files. Currently, the Record activity only produces Ogg Vorbis on Sugar 0.84, and the two other (orphaned?) activities that generate audio, TimeLapse and ShowNTell, are limited to 0.82 (and Ogg Speex).

Indeed that would be nice. I'm cc'ing the etoys developers list, maybe this catches someone's eye ;)
