Actually that did help.  I'm a C++ guy so taking a look at
MediaScanner.cpp in thre OpenCORE git provided some insight.

Based on the code the scanner 'should' omit folders that begin with a
period or folders which contain a file named .nomedia.

A little digging revealed sounds on my sdcard that were similar to the
ones I was using in my app.  Between that and users still complaining
about sounds showing up in their music player I assumed the folder
renaming did not work but indeed it did.

Placing a file named .nomedia in the folder works great as well.


Thanks!
