I don't see any problem with this, as long as the details can be
externalized.  If we play sounds through a configurable external
command, then we should be able to do pretty much anything we want,
right?


Even Windows has the ability to execute external commands, so the same
method for playing sounds should work on that platform as well.

    It's really hard to define what "unexpected behavior" means when you're
                       talking about Windows.
