Haven't seen an error like this. Next time, please attach the error log (something like .sugar/default/logs/org.vpri.EtoysActivity.log).

Regarding reverb, Etoys 4.1 (to be release next week) has a preference for that :)

During that same event, I got access to wifi and installed the latest version of Etoys from activities.sugarlabs.org and the Etoys project was able to load correctly.

Checking some other Etoys files with sounds, I notice that reverb is prevalent. I had just assumed before that there was some quirky reason those files were authored that way. Here is the second alpha of my project:
