Well, looks like sounds in format aiff, au or wav works
fine and mplayer actually quits after the sound is done.

I will restart again this project from Ubuntu using
LC 7.0.2 (RC1):

If I remember correctly, RunRev test LiveCode in Linux using virtual
machines.
So, maybe they are completely unaware of these bugs.
All previous efforts toward 1) automatic testing and 2) benchmark scripts 
are steps in the right direction.
Maybe, just maybe, we could ask each month all users for new ideas 
and scripts for automated testing and benchmark.
