That is true currently, however a future version of the OS (beyond 3.5.2)
will provide an API for playing wave files.

        For reference, although the TRGPro has the hardware capability to
play WAV
        files, and CFPro has an option to play WAV files, there is *no*
general
        API for playing WAV files from third-party programs.  I wish there
was - I
        have a couple of nice ideas for this, and writing a WAV player is
somewhat
        outside my area of expertise.

        Cheers
        Richard
