X-Wing Alliance features a lot of music tracks which somehow aren't used in-game.
So how about a hook which restored these tracks?

Unused track include:

FRHANGAR (Hangar theme)

SQFAMLG (large Family ship arrives, currently used when large Rebel ships arrive in Family missions)

SQFAMLG1 (large Family ship arrives)

SQFAMSM1 (small Family ship arrives)

STPIRATE (engaging neutrals in Rebel missions)

STRIVAL (engaging neutrals in Family missions)

I didn't realise there was Hangar music originally.
Not sure these would be easy things to restore as the music system is complicated.

Also with sound changes upcoming to things like Hangars then the music could overshadow other sound effects.
I think it's great XWA uses so much original music. I expect most new games today have to create an edited or new soundtrack
Chief XWAU Team annoying nitpicker.
