Any known issue with SoundPlay ?

If I run a downloaded sound file it will be executed with its assigned MS mediaplayer:

Because if the script is terminated, any currently-playing file that it started will stop: Use this if your script terminates right afterward:

SoundPlay, bumblebee.wav, wait

When I've checked the syntax I've interpreted the 1 at the wait parameters description as a timing (secs) value. Heck, should take some more secs to read the man page.

Thx, Chris.

From the help file "If a file is playing and the current script or a different script plays a second file, the first file will be stopped so that the second one can play."

I got two sound to play at the same time using 2 differnt scripts. One was compiled, the other was not. I just think this should be documented

You're right. It also works even if neither of the scripts is compiled. Maybe the sound stopping issue happens only on Win9x. I've changed the documentation to:

If a file is playing and the current script plays a second file, the first file will be stopped so that the second one can play. On some systems, certain file types might stop playing even when an entirely separate script plays a new file.

Thanks.
