I think I have a similar problem.  I was using SndPlay() asynchronously, and
now it doesn't work with 6.0.7.  Do you or anyone else have any sample code
that uses the Sound Manager correctly?  I found both sets of documentation (the
'bogus' Chapter 27 in Inside Mac V and the supplement ms word file) totally
confusing.

If someone could just show me the correct way to load the snd resources, make
a new sndchannel, play the sound asynch. in a way that 6.07 likes I would be
happy.  It would be best if DTS would release a new sample code note that goes
into detail in using everything, even those arcane sndCommands.
