Sound typification

[Reedych]

In some minetest Games apart of other sound as mobs and instruments, there's some music. So I sometimes want to disable immersive background sounds, but still want to hear general sounds.
For example a modder adds general sound such as block place:

Code: Select all

{
    gain = 1.0, -- default
    fade = 0.0, -- default, change to a value > 0 to fade the sound in
    pitch = 1.0, -- default,
    type = "general"
}

And now a modder adds sound of rain:

Code: Select all

{
    gain = 1.0, -- default
    fade = 0.0, -- default, change to a value > 0 to fade the sound in
    pitch = 1.0, -- default,
    type = "weather"
}

And now a modder adds some background music:

Code: Select all

{
    gain = 1.0, -- default
    fade = 0.0, -- default, change to a value > 0 to fade the sound in
    pitch = 1.0, -- default,
    type = "music"
}

And a player can enable/disable needed types of sounds.

This doesn't need a modification of the engine to support this. E.g. ITB does this already and has a music toggle so that players can enable or disable music themselves. It's just a matter of properly coding up your mods in your game.

Is it possible to change the pitch of sound with this "pitch = 1.5," in minetest?
