What options will be available on the 3D Sound object?  I'd like to be apply special effects to individual sounds. Specifically, I'd like to be able to apply Reverb and Frequency Filters.  Pitch Shifting could be helpful too.  I just want to be able to accurately adjust the tone of the sound based on the source's distance from the listener.

@Jim Houx =>

The 3D sound functionality of Nova only manages the distance to the object which emits a sound (source) with an increase or decrease of the sound according to the position of the camera.

Reverb and Frequency are not managed yet as well as Pitch Shifting but we will put your request in the wishlist.
