Missing parameter in Sound>>play:

Andy, Blair,

there seems to be a "bug" in Sound>>play:.

When playing a wave file hmod/location should be NULL. However if
playing a wave from a resource DLL it should be the handle of the
resource library. But hmod is set to location (ExternalResourceLibrary)
and not to it's handle.

So the correct method should be:
Sound>>play: flags
     "Private - Play the receiver with the specified flags.
     Answer whether it succeeded."

     | soundName |
     soundName := fileLocator notNil
                 ifTrue: [fileLocator localFileSpecFor: name]
                 ifFalse: [name].
     ^WinMMLibrary default
         playSound: soundName
         hmod: location asParameter
         fdwSound: flags


BTW: This is the same in DST5.

CU,

Udo

PS: I also filed this in your Ticket system.

Yes, it looks like a bug. Please go ahead and file a bug report.
