  In what sort of circumstances could I get a crash when using sound in
HC 1.2.x together with System 6.07 ? Apparently it does work anyway, or am
I doing something wrong? :-)   Even worse: I could play both beep and boing
in a copy of the very old HyperCard 1.1 (e.g. "play boing a f g e").

  This is an important question because a lot of (end)users find HC 2.0 to slow
(running it on a MacPlus) and to big (you can't fit it on a 800 Kb disk
together with a minimalized System (this was possible with HC 1.*).
