I don't think sndplay has such an option.

Using the Sound object, you can do it by having the "didPlay:" delegate
method invoke the sound again. This would let you play sounds in
the background (in its own Mach thread) but continuously repeat it:

- didPlay:sound 
{
  [sound play]; 
  return self;
}

- playContinuously:sound 
{
  [sound setDelegate:self];
  [sound play]; 
  return self;
}
