FLAC dump labelled

To do: The sound effects part

There exists a compilation of all the sound cast members of the Director movies Eastern Mind is made of, which have been exported to .FLAC files. The names of these are approximations of their actual internal names--internally, they're all numbers in each of the .DXR (Windows)/.DIR (Macintosh) files, so for the sake of separating each number, the .DXR/.DIR file that the sound cast member comes from is specified (for example, a file from D_MARKET with the number 33 internally is parsed here as D_MARKET_33.

This serves to denote what files are what in it, as the internal names of the .DXR/.DIR range from "vague" to "misleading"... and to tell you that you will also learn very, very quickly that Sato has a habit of having duplicate versions of files.
