Bill's code works for ma on Win7 with JGTK32 and JGTK64.
I did find one note in the MS documentation for PlaySoundA about the final
parameter:
Three flags in fdwSound (SND_ALIAS, SND_FILENAME, and SND_RESOURCE) determine
whether the name is interpreted as an alias for a system event, a file name, or
a resource identifier. If none of these flags are specified, PlaySound searches
the registry or the WIN.INI file for an association with the specified sound
name. If an association is found, the sound event is played. If no association
is found in the registry, the name is interpreted as a file name.
SND_FILENAME The pszSound parameter is a file name. If the file cannot be
found,
the function plays the default sound unless the SND_NODEFAULT flag is set.
#define SND_FILENAME 0x00020000L /* name is file name */
dfh '00020000'
131072
So, one plausible alternative to Bill's suggestion that could work more
reliably
on Vista or be less dependent on the registry could be to try this:
'winmm PlaySoundA> i *c x i'&cd 'c:\j406\willie\01will.wav';0;131072
