Help!  I am trying to get async sounds to work using the sound manager, but
I have a couple of questions:

1.  Why am I not supposed to leave an open sound channel for a period of
    time?
2.  Right now, I am allocating a new channel, then doing the SndPlay.  I
    can see that the processing right after that is getting done.  But it
    finishes before the sound.  So my SndDisposeChannel (or however it is
    spelled) will just sit there and wait until the sound is finished.  (Yes,
    I want it to do that -- I don't want to chop the sound off right in the
    middle of playing.)  I could check in the event loop to see if the
    sound is done, and if it is then dispose the channel.  But how can I
    find out if it is finished?

Mac programming is so much fun (seriously)...
