Is camera-relative sound a bug?

Question Title: Is camera-relative sound a bug?
Category: Landscape
Question: Sounds are relative to the camera, not to the avatar. Is this an oversight? While in "satellite mode" it'd be nice to hear yourself being eaten.

Ni!

Answer: I don't think it's a bug. It was a decision.

Your sound should be relative from your view. Even if your view is 300 feet back.

That's one point of view.

I could be swayed either way, however.

Sean.
