Hi Matthew,

I am not sure from your mail, whether you are asking for a gui control
or just want the basic functionality. In the second case a full
implementation of the NSSound class could do for you. Currently GNUstep
does not provide a full 10.5 compatible implementation of that class,
but it should be possible to do one, if this would help you.

Cheers
Fred
