I have been poking around several PD programs that use sound, wanting to
do the same in my program, and I am somewhat confused.

I already know that there are two kinds of 'snd' resources: one for
hypercard, one for Mac II.

I have found resources named: ASND, BSND, SONG, snd...

Are there any standards in this area?

How could I play sounds in the various formats (that is to say, what
resources map to what sound driver routines)?

What is the best way to capture sounds for a program?
