Two sounds at the same time!?

Count me in for the wanters and here is the reason why: If you use 
multiple player objects this will work o.k. for audiofiles that are 
longer than just a few seconds. If you try to play more than 4 or 5 
(very) short audioclips (think sound effects) at the same time it is 
not quite practical. This is nothing Rev is to blame for. It is simply 
that these files need to be played back from the HD, which might start 
spinning like mad trying  to locate all the short clips at once, 
especially on older machines. I used to do HD recording with Pro Toos, 
so I know the sound and I know the reason why it is happening, as I 
coded the stack. But if it is a normal user who hears hectic activity 
from the HD and maybe audio starting to stutter while the app doesn´t 
do anything more but playing a few sound effects, I would think "What 
the hell is wrong with that Program? Do they scan/erase my HD?". 
Knowing that multichannel audio might not have highest priority I pray 
for someone writing an external  that works cross plattform.

I would be willing to pay a few $$ for it and I guess some others would 
too, wouldn´t they? If so let the list know, someone might pick up the 
challenge...

All the best,

Malte
