Second Life: Script-triggered Sounds and Viewer Audio Channels
Second Life allows objects to be scripted to trigger the playback of sounds. These can include anything including (but not limited to) birdsong, gunshots, clicks and sound bites.

Auto-discovery of OpenSim Simulator Creations

What we now need is a searchable tag to easily find such downloadable simulators. I’m [...]
