There's a relevant paragraph in the "Play" command card of the Metatalk
Reference. Notice the last sentence:
Sounds must be in a format appropriate for the platform that MetaCard is
running on (e.g. .l16 on HP 9000/700 workstations, .aiff on SGI IRIS).
The Sun/NeXT .au/.snd format (8-bit 8KHz mulaw encoding) is supported on
all platforms, and is the recommended format for sounds that must play
on more than one platform. Note that the sound data must be in the data
fork on MacOS systems and not in the resource fork.
Probably not what you wanted to hear...
So the next question is, How do you get them into the data fork?
answer: Import them into your stack, using the File-->Import menu
command.
