[Edu-sig] Snack question

[John Zelle]

I've only tried to use snack once and had a similar problem playing 
sound files (although I did get it to generate nice tones). I resorted 
to using an external command for playing sound files (I use artsplay, 
because I run artsd for my sound system under Linux). I just  used 
os.system() to fork the sound playing commands. Unfortunately, it's not 
portable, but it was quick and easy. I needed it as a replacement for 
Winsound on Linux.
