It seems the sound system of DoomRL got notice of a sister game:

Which makes me wonder - is it possible to have some enemy with a CatEye trigger a special sound upon seeing DoomGuy?

Yes, with custom AI.  Currently there are two procs that can tell you if the monster sees a player or if the player sees a monster.  A custom AI could easily use those to make sounds that trigger when long sighted monsters see the player.

In fact, Tehtmi has--in his work assisting KK with the AI--made AIs that behave similarly (guarding a position until they see a player).  So it's not only possible, the general idea has been done.

Yep, as I said there, Chaosforge is pretty much on the forefront of such endeavors and I would home ToME 4 and many other projects deem it worthy to make their own progress in the world of Audio.
