This is a known limitation: the Windows port of Emacs currently doesn't support :data for playing sound. You MUST use :file. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

You MUST use :file. Where is this documented? If it is not, please regard this as a documentation bug. The only thing I could find is in etc/NEWS: ------ ** Sound is now supported on MS Windows. WAV format is supported on all versions of Windows, other formats such as AU, AIFF and MP3 may be supported in the more recent versions of Windows, or when other software provides hooks into the system level sound support for those formats. ------ Michael ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Does this produce a click sound with other players on Windows? I tested it with Winamp and it didn't. OTOH, if you use a sound of 4 bytes or more, it works (in Emacs, and also Winamp). So it seems like a limitation of Windows (or some underdocumented feature of the .au file format), > On Sat, Jun 16, 2007 at 13:52, Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org> wrote: > It wasn't.
