Of course, I've never bought a sound myself so I don't quite know how it works. Does the invoice describe the sound (or graphic) so well that there's no confusion? Seems like there should be a tighter bind between the two.

I know exactly what you are talking about! I learned that lesson the hard way with my first game, too. And that includes art assets - making sure I had a license to use everything. It's particularly bad when you are using stand-in content grabbed from WHEREVER when prototyping your game, and then need to make sure that every single one of them has been replaced with a legal, licensed (or self-made) asset. Is there a better way to do this? Some way to automate the process a little better? Been there, done that! I know exactly what you are talking about!
