So far so good. My current problem is that my sounds won't loop. I have code like this, where t3 contains a path to a sound file.

Well, I couldn't get it to work either.  The first example shown in the 
dictionary is:
play mySoundFile, true

Which didn't work (and didn't throw an errorDialog).

I also tried:
play mySoundFile true
playing mySoundFile looping

I can get it to work once, but it never seems to loop either.
