Also, not everyone *has* a sound that plays… if the volume is turned all the 
way down, or if they have a hearing issue, for example, they will often have 
the screen flash turned on; calling NSBeep() triggers this correctly.

I didn't know that automatically played the configured sound.  That's great 
thanks!  I knew I was missing something straightforward.

You can use the NSBeep () global function to play the configured alert sound. I 
don’t know if there’s an API to get its file name — it’s not obvious that it is 
even a separate file, always.
