If you use the built-in play-sound function,
things feel slower than when using (shell-command "play "...)
It's hard to articulate the "feel slower" bit --
but at least when I switched emacspeak to start using play-sound,
the rest of emacs felt sluggish.
Can you investigate a little--by seeing what method Emacs uses to play
a sound, and what method the `play' program uses? Maybe we're not
using the best method, or we might be using it wrong.
Unfortunately I know next to nothing about the facilities for playing
sound.
