For another approach, don't use embedded audio, use an audio file on 
disk and a player in the stack. Set the filename of the player to the 
file path of the audio file. The player can be invisible if you don't 
want to see it.

Start the player with the "start player" command. When the audio 
finishes the player will receive a "playStopped" message. A handler in 
the script of the player should catch that message, set its own filename 
to the next audio file on disk, and start playing that.

This way you don't need to know how long to wait or worry about blocking 
any user actions. You can also use a wider variety of sound formats than 
the three that LC allows to be embedded.
