You could use Black Watch, a free utility that is nice and easy to operate, configurable a bit and so on... I just tested it with a QT movie playing. The sound came thru fine... It is a smallish (600K) download. If you can't find it after the following clues, I can send it to you off list... "BlackWatch A simple Macintosh screen saver.
