I'd like to use the Sound Manager to asynchronously play some 'snd ' resources with more than 128 SndCommands. Actually, I want to open four channels, and play four 'snd ' resources for 4 voice music. The problem is, that with more than 128 SndCommands in the 'snd ' resource, SndPlay doesn't return right away, so my four consecutive SndPlay calls don't result in the 4 voices playing in sync. I've changed my code to allocate the SndChannel record with a longer queue, and after my call to SndNewChannel, I modify qLength to reflect my longer queue. This fixes my problem, and music comes out sounding fine. However, the IM-V chapter on the Sound Manager states that qLength "must always be ORD(stdQLength)". So, how much trouble will I get into if I allocate my own SndChannel records with queues longer or shorter than stdQLength? -- Roger L. Long dhw68k!bytebug

Roger Long has trouble playing 4 voice music wiht queues the standard
length.
The new sound manager has commands for synchronizng the multiple channels.
Do those synchronization commands not work? Which revision of the system
file are you using?
