Sorry, it looks like I was wrong: prepare is only meant to work with video clips. Can you format your sounds so they work with the video clip player? The other alternative would be to stitch the sounds together by script before playback - something that shouldn't be too hard to do. If you can't get the former to work then please let me know what sound format you are using (and send me a handful of sounds) and I'll investigate the latter.
