This is a bug in the 0.9 SoundKit. To get around it, you should use the
Application event loop (with the "run" method) and also use the
Sound class delegation mechanism to get the sound to repeatedly play 
itself. In the simplest case, you'd have a subclass of Application that
looks like:

#import "TestApp.h"
#import <soundkit/Sound.h>

@implementation TestApp

- appDidInit:app
{
    [[[Sound newFromSoundfile:"foo.snd"] setDelegate:self] play];
    return self;
}

- didPlay:sound
{
    [sound play];
}

@end

The above code, coupled with an IB-generated main program and Makefile
will work fine. The advantage of this code is that your events (such as hitting
the "Quit" button) will be detected and processed. And of course it will 
play the sound more than 3 times.
