Tom... it does indeed say that the support has been added for a variant of the
'play' command, but also states that 'looping' works with this... You have to
believe the documentation, but it does make one wonder if the command in
association with 'looping' was ever tested before putting the syntax into
print, as the document is effectively saying that 'looping' using the 'play'
command does work... following the documentation only to find that you cannot
get it to play nicely makes for both frustration and a wate of time...
