Brian,

Oh, ok, I'll give your demo a re-look & re-think!

BTW, I have tentativly concluded that the problem with setVisible is really
WITH setVisible, not with playSound interacting with it, see my demo in
post: Win32Lib: setVisible (true) problem ?  The timer I used there,
instead of giving setVisible time to finish, actually causes/allows/demos
the problem.
