Indeed! That's one of the strongest points of this design. I'd even say that sounds are more important for the atmosphere than graphics... Of course, you can play without sounds, while graphics are necessary in any case for typical FRUA/DC adventures. Still, good sound effects and music can more than make up for sparse graphics.

I am still a little skeptic using sounds from other games, though, especially when it comes to music and complex sound effects (I think this was also discussed at the FRUA forum earlier).
It should be okay as long as you do not make profit with your design. However, I plan to completely use free/own sound effects for my designs in the long run.
