Yup, you can download the MacDTS-issue sample code.  Look for the one
named, "SoundApp."  It does exactly what you've asked for.  Its also on
nearly all of the Developer CD releases.

P.S. You can read about the other requests in "The Best of MacTutor series.
As an example, the source to an icon LDEF was published.  They also printed
an article on a MDEF for patterns.  As for serious list management,
you should skip the List Manager and write a decent database engine or
B-tree system.  Most of this you can copy from a college text book.
