(RepeatingSound repeatForever: (RestSound dur: 10)) play


Best,

I don't think you should need that; the soundplayer simpy fills the buffer with zeros if it is set to keep playing even when there are no actual sounds. See SoundPlayer class>>#playLoop near the end where you see 'willStop'.

Also I suspect that RestSound is already a silent note. If you see what I mean.

Oh my, be careful about opening that can of vermiform creatures.  MessageTally is not very helpful about primitive times. There is/was an improved version somewhere. I'll leave that to someone else to explain.
