Claudi,
as far as i have been able to tell you are out of luck with playing external wav files w/o Quicktime on the PC. I tried 9 ways to tuesday to do this a few months back. Documentation in Metacard and Rev both allude to being able to do this w/o quicktime, but it just doesnt. I was interested to see that Scott suggested trying MP3 format, I didnt try that figuring that if it didnt play an Wav format file (much more older standard format) it wasnt going to do anything. now i'm heartened to try mp3 files on non qt windoz to see if that works. let us know if it does!
some warnings about testing with the dontuseqt set to true on the pc. first make sure you call it first thing in your preopenstack handler. if a player is called/delt with before that qt will be loaded. even with qt turned off this way i have had it pop back on while fiddling around in a stack trying things. you get that moment of great elation that you have fixed the problem, then discover that the contrller bar is now active and this indicates that quicktime is back on again... (followed by a long sound of a balloon slowly being deflated...). it is safest to just deinstall quicktime on the pc you are working on to make sure its behaving like a computer w/o qt. lucky the deinstall/reinstall of qt has gone flawlessly several times on my xp development system (kudos to apple for a hardy windows install/deinstall).
one other little windows audio gotcha (that Jacqueline solved for me, thanks again!) is that you can get some strange playback behaviors on windows (with qt) if the player being played is hidden. make it visible and set its loc to off screen and these go away. this doesn't happen on the mac, windows only, but the fix works fine on the mac.

Hi list
I am in quite a fix. I am trying to get an audio file to play on windows. I am busy with this already for well about 10 hours to no avail. On my mac it's no problem at all but on the windows box (windows 2000 profesional) I can't get the file to play. I have both an aif and a wav file and neither will play with runrev. The aif file won't play in the windows media player
