Wasn't this a discussion about an INIT ? An INIT that loads at
startup time and installs itself in the system heap ? And would
not care about "who" was getting the event ?

And IF you patch in the application, this STILL isn't a problem,
since both a5 and low memory switching is done both on major and
minor switches, so your patch would apply only when you were switched
in, and the PostEvent was, indeed, intended for you.

This is especially true if you use the GetNextEvent patch to actually
play the sound, and PostEvent to set a flag for this patch.
