Play a WAV-file.
PlaySound wav$ [, flag = 0]
wav$sexp

The PlaySound command plays the WAV (-file) requested by the user. wav$ may specify a filename or a string containing WAV data. If wav$ = "", any currently playing waveform sound is stopped.
| flag | Meaning |
|---|---|
| SND_SYNC (0) | the sound plays synchronously and waits untill the playing event ends. |
| SND_ASYNC (1) | The sound starts asynchronously and immediately returns to the program (doesn't wait). |
| SND_NODEFAULT (2) | when the sound file cannot be found, the function returns to the program without playing a predefined default sound (usually a warning) |
| SND_MEMORY (4) | A sound is started whose file is loaded in string memory. |
| SND_LOOP (8) | The sound plays repeatedly until PlaySound "" is called You must also specify the SND_ASYNC flag to indicate an asynchronous sound event. |
| SND_NOSTOP (16) | if another song is just being played; the new sound is put in a queue and will be played after completion of the current sound. |
If it cannot find the specified sound, PlaySound uses the default system event sound entry instead.
