Hmm, one more reason:
elephant's dream was a blender project. some of the grant money went 
into core development of blender itself to adjust it to production 
features. one of the goals of the film was, to see whether blender would 
pass the "ready for a real film" exam.
blender people just did not have the budget (and goal) to develop on the 
sound side, too.
btw, blender forum has about 30.000 registered users. pd maybe 1000-3000???
marius.
