I agree. Fluxa does have her own "searchpath" which makes sense because we
will likely want to keep our samples in a different dir from our textures,
but defaults are good for examples and testing.

probably didn't have priority. There is some weirdness there anyway, because
libsndfile is cross-platform and works for more file types and variations
