 From Indy 4 onwards, sound effects and speech are stored in a separate resource file called "MONSTER.SOU". The format is:
-  "SOU " header (incl. size?)
+  Block name         4 ("SOU ") bytes
-  one or more {
+ Block size         4 bytes
-   "VCTL" header/block (contains lip-synch tags?)
+  One or more:
-  "CREA" block (Creative VOC file)
+   Block name        4 ("VCTL") bytes
- }
+  Block size        4 bytes
+  Lip-sync tags     variable
+  Sound data        variable ("Crea" block / VOC file)
+The lip-sync tags provide timing information. In v5 the number of tags is stored in the calling text, according to the formula ((num_tags / 2) << 1) + 8. The "Crea" block is an entire Creative VOC file.
