Is there a way to allow users to add links into their story? Clickable links. Also to allow them to embed a sound file or a you tube video? I'm sure this isn't useful to a lot of people who run strict sites, but for mine I'd like to allow this. Is there anyway to add which html codes the script allows on the story pages or news?

Look for "allowed tags" in your site settings.

And add the tag <a> to that list of allowed tags.

For sound and video you'd need the embed, param, and object tags.  Do it if you want, but I'd advise against it.  By doing that you'll be allowing the possibility of malicious code onto your site.  You'd be exposing your visitors to the risk of virus, hacks, etc. unless you check EVERYTHING that gets added.  And when you check it, you're exposing yourself to the same.
