Hi Piero,

It's always a good idea to try these things in Squeak.  I filed out
AbstractSound and found this at the end of the file:

  AbstractSound initialize!

so I don't think you should worry.  To understand how this happens (and
therefore what you must do to make sure it does happen), have a look at
the Metaclass implementation of #fileOutOn:moveSource:toFile:.

Have fun,
Steve
