The Mystery of intro.mp3

In FlightGear, a strange file called intro.mp3 can be found under $FGDATA/Sounds/intro.mp3. This sound is stereo (which FG does not accept) and does not appear to be in wav format...

Can anyone shed light on this mystery? :shock:

*cue dramatic music*

no idea what's that for, but the file has been in FGDATA since commit #1 in gitorious.
So, it lived there for looots of time.

I think it was meant to play as "Intro music" (if selected) while the game was loading, probably never really happened or worked fine.
