Type: string
Unique textual identification of the prototype.

sound

Type: Sound
The sound file and volume.

track_type

This lets the game know in what instances the audio file is played.

The following types are recognized:

• "early-game"
• "main-track"
• "interlude"
• "late-game"
• "menu-track"

"menu-track" is only played in the main menu. "early-game", "late-game" and "main-track" are all considered main tracks and played interleaved (alternating) with "interlude" tracks. "early-game" and "late-game" have no special effects compared to "main-track" meaning that are functionally the same.
