I just opened Squeak 3.9 from www.squeak.org copied the sound code I've 
been running there. I had no problems at all. (And that was 
experimenting with sounds built into the image and the fox.aiff sound to 
which my code refers.

Returning to etoys-dev.image, running the same code, I was able to 
freeze the image fairly quicky (between 10 to 20 doits).

.... I restarted Squeak (etoys-dev.image) and experimented only with the 
following code (using only the camera sound that comes with Squeak).


SampledSound playSoundNamed: 'camera'

s := (SampledSound soundNamed:  'camera').
s play.

r := RepeatingSound repeat: s count: 2.
r play


After 70 or so doits, Squeak freezes. Another sympton I saw on this go 
round of the test was that the 2 or 3 doits before the actual freeze, 
Squeak became slightly unresponsive. And then it froze.

Yoshiki - Sorry to belabor this .... and thanks very much for taking the 
time to answer my questions.

Ab,

Mark
