Audio modding

The first thing to understand, there is no names in wwise. When a wwise project is compiled (saved for use) the tool converts all the names into id strings. This is why the game has a ton of files called 9484940112.wem. At some point they were named Karl_Eating_Goblins.wem and so on, but that name is converted (hashed)
