Hi Chris,

As far as I know the standard playSound Windows API function can only
play one sound at a time.

I "think" the easiest way to do what you want is look at the Direct 
Sound API's in DirectX. 

This means users of your program will need directX loaded!

As an alternative you "might" be able to play a midi file and a wav
at the same time using the standard API calls.  Obviously you'll need
to replace your background looping wav file with a midi file.
