Theme UI sounds e.g <sound name="systemscroll"> only half implemented #485

@UnluckyForSome

Currently, within a theme's .xml, only:

	<sound name="launch">
		<path>./art/launch.wav</path>
	</sound>

seems to be implemented. I read somewhere these were one of the last things that the original ES developer was working on before abandoning the project, so they never got round to adding the rest. Looking at old theme files, it looks like support was originally intended for the following:

	<sound name="systemscroll">
		<path>./art/navigate.wav</path>
	</sound>
	
	<sound name="systemselect">
		<path>./art/systemselect.wav</path>
	</sound>
	
	<sound name="listscroll">
		<path>./art/navigate.wav</path>
	</sound>
	
	<sound name="back">
		<path>./art/back.wav</path>
	</sound>
	
	<sound name="launch">
		<path>./art/launch.wav</path>
	</sound>
	
	<sound name="menuopen">
		<path>./art/menu.wav</path>
	</sound>

I know a scroll sound can be selected with:

	<textlist name="gamelist">
		<scrollSound>./art/scrollsound.wav</scrollSound>
	</textlist>

But I think this tag is old, and:

	<sound name="systemscroll">
		<path>./art/navigate.wav</path>
	</sound>

...was intended to replace it. The system launch sound:

	<sound name="launch">
		<path>./art/launch.wav</path>
	</sound>

Appears to be coded in and works, so perhaps adding the others wouldn't be so difficult?

Many thanks!
