I've got a problem and I hope one of the great minds on the net can help.  I'm
using Randomizer to shuffle the desktop, startup sound and shutdown sound on
my Mac.  IMHO, anyone with the resources to do so that isn't is missing a big
portion of the Mac experience, but that's another argument.  I'm using
Randomizer along with the Sound INIT and the ShutDown Sound INIT to accomplish
this.

My problem is that Sound INIT doesn't seem to know what speed to play my
digitized sounds at and assumes everything was digitized at 22K.  I have a
few sounds that were digitized at 11K that I would like to include in my
selection, but it just doesn't sound too good to have them played at double
speed.  I've seen resources in some of the sounds I've gotten (I've collected
them from a variety of sources) that seem to tell about the sound; how long it
is and what speed it was digitized at.  The two in particular I've seen are
of type "info" (number 128) and "INFO" (number 1000).  The ShutDown Sound INIT
seems to recognize at least one of these (I think "info", but I'm not sure),
but I can't get anywhere with Sound INIT.  I don't mind using ResEdit to hack
at resources, but if Sound INIT recognizes a particular information resource,
I can't find out what the format is.  Can anyone out there help me?  Mucho
thanks in advance (and even after if you're lucky :-) ).
