But how to make it robust.
I suggest that you use a model similar to fonts, with the event numbers
as members of a dictionary, and the sounds corresponding to the glyphs.
So the client & server argue about the font name/version and when that
is resolved, the sound is played according the event number private to
that sound collection (cf font).
so in the server app:
VSoundCollection * sounds = new VSoundCollection("NuffieldsOddSounds");
play_sound_glyph(sounds,"open");
play_sound_num(sounds,1234);
in the vncviewer:
on receiving a sound event:
play_sound_event(uint32 SoundFontNumber,uint16 SoundNumber);
if (SoundFontNumber not known) go and getit or have a whinge
