playing multi-sounds

[Malte Brill]

While we are at multichannel sound playing without QT again. Any  
external writers around here that could code such a beast for X-Plat  
use? I´d be willing to throw some $ in a pot.

Here is my experience with multiple players: As others wrote already,  
it lags. Especially for short clips. But even worse. If you want to  
play more than a few, you might end up with a HD that spins like mad.  
Been there. Impractical. If I were the end user of a program that made  
my HD spin like mad and I would have no indication why that is (and I  
would never expect a few sound effects causing that) I would never  
ever launch that app again, as I would think it is malicious...

*sigh*

Cheers,
