That would be the ideal. however I have a couple of sounds I use for
notification of incoming email and appointment reminders which are quite
loud, and when I then try and watch video clips from the news channels back
home I have to turn up the sound, and nearly get blasted out when an email
arrives midway through :)

Besides this I suspect the files concerned may have audio compression to get
the apparent volume up, a bit like TV adverts, and to stop really annoying
everyone else I have to have the mixer volume and the hardware volume well
down, to a point where they are really touchy to operate, so it would be
nice to get them to a more easily adjustable level.

I had noticed your wave handling stuff in the past, but never investigated
it, just assumed it was designed to generate data files like those in the
HAL project. Might look at those yet.

May also try the Goldwave that Jinx pointed me at.

Thanks anyway.
