  Well, one of your problems might be that playing a sound ASYNCHRONOUSLY
means simultaneously with other processing.  SYNCHRONOUSLY playing a sound
means that you put everything on hold while the sound is being played.
Therefore, you should set the asynch parameter to TRUE.

  I don't know what other assumptions your program makes, but this may cause
some of your problems.
