[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Problem using SoundManager from HyperCard

Question: Does HyperCard do anything special with the sound hardware?

In a psycholinguistic experiment I am involved in we need to play a selected
part (i.e. from x ms. to y ms.) of a 'snd ' resource from within HyperCard.
Since the normal play command cannot do this, I decided to write an XCMD to
perform this task. It wasn't too difficult to get it to work when I ran it
as a separate application, but when I turned into an XCMD the sound simply
doesn't play. I don't understand what might be wrong. Does HyperCard
monopolize the sound hardware in any way, or what? If anyone has any idea
what I've done wrong please let me know.
