Ah yes, sorry for lack of clarification. Playsound is part of SDL, but 
it opens an application, puts it in the dock, plays the sound and exits. 
It's very awkward for running inside a script. I suspect I will have to 
look into SDL bindings... very overkill perhaps.

Thanks Konrad and Tommy for the quick replies.
