If you use the built-in play-sound function, things feel slower than when using (shell-command "play "...) It's hard to articulate the "feel slower" bit -- but at least when I switched emacspeak to start using play-sound, the rest of emacs felt sluggish. -- Best Regards, --raman ------------------------------------------------------------ T.
