I won't say that this is the gospel on this subject, but I believe that
the glue to the Sound Manager from MPW C is messed up.
Would anyone care to comment about this?

I spent a while the other day tracking down a similar problem that
looks like it's in the Sound *Driver* glue.  (Hint: Sound Driver = old
Sound Manager = new).  The problems were non-consistant, but
occured on multiple runs of the same program without reboot.
The bomb was fixed by going to low-level driver calls.  
(This isn't really a solution, if you are using the Sound Manager, 
you desire the functionality of it (such as non-clicking multiple
SndPlay calls))

The only other thing that makes me think that these problems *might*
be the glue is that I also had problems with Sound related calls
on early versions of a number of different development packages.
Maybe it's difficult to write the sound glue (?)
