Spring.Echo

 Prints values in the spring chat console (hint: the default print() writes to STDOUT).

Spring.PlaySoundFile

 ( string "soundfile" [, number volume
   [, number x, number y, number z ] ] ) -> nil | boolean

 Plays WAV sounds. By default, the soundfile is expected to be in the "Sounds" folder.

Spring.PlaySoundStream

 ( string "oggfile" [, number volume = 1.0
   [, number x, number y, number z ]] ) -> nil | boolean true
 Allow you to play an Ogg Vorbis (.OGG) compressed sound file.
 Note: you may only play _ONE_ stream at a time. If another stream is playing and
 you try to start a second one the call will fail, and silence will result.
 Note2: the file has to be on the local filesystem, so you can't playback ogg's
 in your mod with this command, to do so you have to extract it before and save
 it on the local filesystem.

 Terminates any SoundStream is running.
 Since only one may play at any time (see above), this can be used as an interrupt.
