# GAL-46: Audio

Wire up audio plugin, sound effects, and background music.

## Sub-issues

- [ ] [GAL-47](GAL-47.md) — Integrate `bevy_audio`.
- [ ] [GAL-48](GAL-48.md) — Add sound effects (shooting, explosions, player death, tractor beam, etc.).
- [ ] [GAL-49](GAL-49.md) — Add background music.

## Acceptance criteria

- [ ] Audio plugin integrated and SFX wired to ECS events (see GAL-47, GAL-48).
- [ ] Background music tied to `GameState` transitions (see GAL-49).
- [ ] Audio path is *non-fatal* in headless / lavapipe environments — `nix run .#take-screenshots` still works.

## Integration test hints

- Run the existing screenshot smoke test with the audio plugin enabled in headless mode; assert no panic and PNGs are produced.
- Tick a representative game scenario (spawn → shoot → kill → die → game over) and assert non-empty stream of audio events without panics.
