HC sounds are stored in the Resource Fork of the stack. Rev does not use or
(generally, i.e., without an external) access the Resource Fork because it
is crossplatform and PC's have no such animal.

-----------
You should be able to extract them with ResEdit or QT Pro, and translate
them to .aif, .wav, or .MP3 files.

-----------
File menu -> Import As Control -> Audio File...

...embeds it, but you can also reference it. If you have a lot of sounds,
referencing instead of embedding will save stack file memory.

play audioClip "TomTom"
