Doggone.  I see now that you had this figured out and were having problem with sampled sounds.

The one thought I have without getting into it deeply is that you might be able to initialize an FMSound in such a way that its buffer comes from  'aWAVFile.wav, and its various parameters cause it simply to be played through once with no FM (ie the degenerate case is basically like a SampledSound.  Then I think the envelope logic should work.

Hopefully you'll hear more from one of the real sound jocks.
