Here's the scoop:
I wrote 'Leprechaun' 2 years ago. It has performled flawlessly on every
machine and every system (including 7.0, aux, portables, fx, etc...). Suddenly,
there is a complete and utter crash on every 6.0.7 based 'classic/compact'
machine (classic, plus, SE). It happens after the first sound plays,
and it is a non-recoverable/debuggable crash. Reset is the only option.
100% reproducable.
1. I tried simplifying my call down to:
sndHandle = GetResource('snd ', #)
HLock(sndHandle);
SndPlay(&chan, sndHandle, false);
and it never comes back. The machine is totally gone.
The channel is initialized like so:
SndNewChannel(&chan, sampledSynth, (long)(initSRate22k+initMono),
MyCallBack);
I am not sure I understand all of the symptoms, so I can't give all
of the details right now - I am a bit confused.
That's a little too weird for me, so more generally:
A) What known problems are there under 6.0.7 with the sound manager?
B) What fixes are available other than telling users to use an older system?
C) Is there more I could tell you that would help get feedback?

Thanks a million
