The docs show that the player is available on Mac, Windows, and Linux. I have tried both .aif and .wav files. I have tried both the player and the play command. Anyone know how or why this does not work and is there a workaround?

"player" objects require of course that QuickTIme is installed on the target machine!
Is that the case? Otherwise you have no controller, this is a QT only feature!

You could check "the qtversion" when your app starts and alert the user in case
there in no QuickTime installed!


The "play" command, on the other hand, does NOT depend on QuickTime but does only
work with a very limited sound formats: uncompressed WAV/AIF and compressed AU.
