as you may have guessed from the subject line, this *is* a plead for help.

I am currently in the process of converting a DOS app to OS/2, and the 
results have been very pleasing with one major exception:  the creation
of sounds.  Our App uses a fair amount of "sound" (in a fashion of turn on
the sound, go do something else, change the sound, then go do something
else, then turn off the sound) which just doesn't cut it using the DosBeep
function.

The Plea:  Is there a way to access the speaker without the use of DosBeep?
Examples would be greatly apprecited, any language will do.

I've read about 20 books on OS/2 programming and have yet to see anything
on this subject (or even any ideas, for that matter - gack!)

thanx,

bt garner

(apologies to those who get this as a re-post, the first NewsFeeder I used
 doesn't seem to want to send things outta 'Bama)
