play_sound
OVERVIEW
play_sound(id) loads and plays the specified sound file.
INPUTS
id identifies the sound file to be loaded, and can be either a string or an integer. If id equals zero, play_sound returns immediately without playing any sound. If id is an integer between 1 and 6, the value is mapped to a Windows system sound as follows:
1: chimes 2: chord 3: ding 4: notify 5: tada 6: Windows XP Battery Critical
If id is a string, the string may include the full path to the file. If the path is not provided, play_sound looks in the current directory, and then in the directory C:\Windows\media.
