Here are a few observations (I'll look at this later
after breakfast):
Snd uses mpg321 (or mpg123) to translate an mp3 file into a format it
can read,
so before Snd can play the mp3 file, it needs to be translated (via
open-sound
for example). I think the new output file in this case has a .wav
extension.
Snd can play other formats without calling open-sound first.
You can preload sound files via mus-sound-preload (see extsnd.html), but
if
you're renaming files right and left, I don't know what will happen.
If you just play a file, and there is no sound object for it in Snd
(from
open-sound etc), there's no object for the start-playing-hook to pass
the hook function. Snd should have a better error message in that case.
