Actually I went the other way. If no sound resource is found, try to look for an audio resource.

Still this would require a new iterator as well. So doing one that is just taking milliseconds as input and then fires the event when its done?

There's now a patch. Does it only contain the playing of the audio resource, so the iterator/event is missing? I could do it, but I don't want to waste my time, so if s/o is already doing it, please say so.
