I also saw in misc/ that check_answer.ogg and ok.ogg has the same sound,
both saying "check answer". Is that what we should be doing as well? The
Dutch, German and French has something similar to "ok" in the sounds for
ok.ogg.  I don't see a reference in the source code to ok.ogg - should
it be removed?
