Bah, I knew I was just making a stupid mistake... So where could I find the sound editor? I found a page on the internet with all kinds of XCC stuff, and the download button for the sound editor was greyed out. Oh, and by the way, what is the AV player for? Could I use it to watch the in-game movies or something? Because I've always wanted to extract the opening movie of RA2.
