RE: Need help with Windows implementation of play-sound

Thanks.  I will try the change you suggested Monday.  If it works, I will
attempt to gernerate a patch for Emacs that includes this and the changes to
the make files, and send it to this list.

You are using alloca so you don't have to call free. free is necessary
by using malloc. The memory allocated by alloca will be automatically
be freed by leaving the funciton.

I am very interested in testing this.
