upon some
"LiveCode" (i.e. Runtime Revolution) stacks I made while I was working
at the University of St. Andrews
for foreign students to practise English vowel sounds . . . and thought

wouldn't it be "fun" (this involves a fairly broad definition of what
constitutes fun) if it were now
possible to port them to run on Linux, including the ability to embed
the sounds in the stack.

Richmond, you can play audioclips under Linux. I'm not sure what
dependencies you need to satisfy and you may have to experiment to find
a format/bit rate/sampling rate that plays, but it can work. For some
reason some sounds (perhaps due to short length?) don't appear to play
in the IDE but will play in a standalone. Download and experiment with
Jacquie's Blocks. The woodtap doesn't play for me in the IDE but works
in a standalone. The fanfare plays but is truncated in the IDE and works
fine in the standalone. The sound used to signal the end of a game with
blocks left plays as white noise instead of whatever it's supposed to
sound like.
Good luck!
