In this case it gets sent to the player that is playing the sound (one is created on the fly in this instance). In general, messages like this are sent to the object doing the work, rather than the one that initiated the action. From there they pass up the hierarchy, so when in doubt, you can trap at the card level. 

One of the great things about Revolution is the (nearly) unlimited script length -- you can put something like this in the card script (or any other script that will catch the message) without worrying about running out of space.
