I think it plays the sound if possible, else it uses DisplayBeep(),
because that's what happens. If I tick "Beep" and select a sample AmIRC
can't play, it uses DisplayBeep() but if I select an 8SVX sample it plays ok.

Yes, I know, but it's so slow compared to the internal player. And I
don't gain anything, except more formats, because Play16 can't be made
to play on an AHI channel, only by direct exclusive access.
I have also tried SFPlay but it's even slower as it uses sndfile.library
but atleast it can play on an AHI channel making it able to mix with
f.ex. AmigaAMP on my Prelude.
