Zero byte music files

[J. Landman Gay]

Just to clear LiveCode's reputation, this was my fault. Lurking in the 
back corner of an obsolete and unused part of a script was a wayward 
command to copy an audio file. I'd commented out all the other related 
commands but I overlooked that one. So I did it to myself.

I so wanted to blame someone else.
