That is why I called it "totally unnecessary", since even with the fading, as
it was implemented, it sounded abrupt anyway.

Yes, if we are going to have any form of fading, I agree that it should be
implemented from scratch.

But is it realistic to fade ogg music without affecting ogg sound effects that
may be playing at the same time? That would mean that we cannot use the mixers,
and we would have to fade some other way.

I wouldn't hate it if it works. It's just that when faced with a
feature-tha-makes-almost-no-noticeable-difference and a weird threading crash,
it was an easy choice for me :)
