Good arvo,

There is a requirement (sic) with the application I'm working on to have it play a WAV sound file when launched as a single user application.

Having concocted the particular portion of the song and converted it with fade to a suitable WAV file I find my options for having it played seem to be :

1. Have it load up instead of the .AVI file with a setting in the [Jade] section of your JADE.INI file
2. Have it loaded and played using the app.playSound facility in something like the initialize method of the application.

Option:1 is good in that it starts the sound playing much sooner when launching -- but unfortunately it doesn't play the .WAV file to completion -- it cuts it off when the first form is presented

Option:2 is good in that the whole .WAV file is played -- but is launched later than desirable.

How about a new option that allows a sound file to be launched as early as possible after launching the application and playing it to completion .............. ?????????
