Invisible players of type ?xxxx
(called "Random Players" in the Zillions help file) often execute very useful tasks,
but not necessarily in the form of an
opponent, but rather like subroutines etc.

In these cases it is often not desirable and/or pleasant for the ear to have
the move-sounds, drop-sounds etc active for
these activities.

Furthermore these sound slow the system down,
so that avoiding these sound would speed up
the game in many cases.

Hence I suggest to have a command to the effect
that ALL sounds are being switched off
for the ?xxxx players.

Maybe at game level:
(?-sound false)
