We have no support for CTCP SOUND; in fact, I have never heard of it
before now.  A quick web search looks like it's an mIRC thing, and you
have to have the sound on disk.  In any case, we don't support it, and
I would not intend to do so.  You could write a plugin to catch such
messages, if you really like.
