Well if this is the macintosh VM (unix or carbon 3.x/4.x) then I suspect the playback of the first N milliseconds of sound is not *quite right*. 

If possible the test case should be tried on the 5.x Squeak Macintosh VM because I rewrote the sound logic to use Apple's latest 
suggested API and took great care to ensure playback was timely and *correct* for the first N milliseconds.
