Summary: Type 2 'snd ' resources play too fast.

I use the following procedure to play some short 'snd ' resources:

    static void playNamedSoundResource(char *s)
    /* 's' is a Pascal-format string (with leading length byte) */
    {
        Handle h;
        OSErr e;
    
        h = GetNamedResource('snd ',s);
        if (h != NULL) {
            e = SndPlay(NULL,h,false);
            ReleaseResource(h);
            }
    }

This works fine for type 1 'snd ' resources, but plays the (recommended)
type 2 resources (the kind that HyperCard likes) at the wrong sampling rate
(too fast).  Also, I've noticed that ResEdit (at least the 1.2 vintage)
plays these sounds too fast.  Does anybody know a simple way to get these
type 2's to play correctly, or am I gonna have to get intimate with the
Sound Manager chapter?

Thanks!
