Probably because I'm French and thus (:-) Cartesian, 
I am puzzled with this use of "proved". What did you prove, 
and how? I do not know SND Control, but I know SoundMaster 
and I suspect that you are mixing two different things here.
SoundMaster does an awful lot of patches to insert sounds 
at various events (when a disk is inserted or ejected, and 
son on), besides it uses the Finder hooks of Sonic Finder 
so that the Finder can use sounds for some actions (I 
finished copyying a file, I am clicking on a big document 
icon...). I do no think (but can't prove it) that the 
hooks are in Finder 7.0. The Finder 7.0 has been 
entirely re-written and the guy who did the hooks 
for Sonic Finder is no more at Apple.
So what you can do is add sound to standard events 
not involving the Finder. But for the rest...

Apple, *please* put the hooks back.

Arno.
