--Ambience Configuration for version .34
--Added Faraway & Ethereal by Amethystium

--Working on:
--removing magic leap when not enough air under feet.


--find out why wind stops while flying
--add an extra node near feet to handle treading water as a special case, and don't have to use node under feet. which gets
	--invoked when staning on a ledge near water.
--reduce redundant code (stopplay and add ambience to list)
