Indeed I am already using StreamingMP3Player, which subclasses from 
SoundPlayer.  I have no trouble getting my sound to play in a different 
process.  I needed a process/thread to monitor this sound playing 
process and determine when it is done so I can automatically move to the 
next song.  Fork is now doing the trick quite nicely.  Many thanks to 
Bob Hartwig's SqueakAmp for examples to look at.  If I hadn't managed to 
just corrupt my image, I'd have a nicely working model of my player all 
set to go.  Now I'm fishing thru changes files.  Urg.
