Actually, the CLICK! <sound> CLICK! is not Apple's fault completely; there is
a TechNote that explains how to do sound properly (ie no clicks).  You can
hardly blame Apple when developers are not following the rules.  I certainly
wont bitch at Apple when MSWord 4 breaks under System 7.0, for example, since
Microsoft is notoriously bad at that.  As an aside, it is my understanding
that just about everything Microsoft has out now will break, since the
system software will stop special-casing Microsoft software that needs to
run in the first meg of memory.  That'll show 'em.
