I've been a Mac owner for a long time, and I can even program it
(given enough time, which never happens), so I know something about
resources, etc.  But I know almost nothing about sounds.  I think
there are several different incompatible types of sound resources, and
different programs use different ones.

Can anyone tell me

    What are the different kinds of sound resources?

    Are any of these "official"?

    Which programs use which kinds?

And more specifically,

    Is the Sound Driver section in IM-II still worthwhile reading,
        or is it hopelessly outdated?

    How do I reset my Mac+ so it just beeps on errors?  (GimmeBackSysBeep
        is apparently not for Mac+'s.)

I'm not asking for a definitive treatise here (though I wouldn't be
sorry to get one!), just a road map and a few pointers.  It's about
time I learned about this side of the Mac!
