I was wondering if anyone has any clue how to play sound fx's?
I downloaded the Ricochet demo to see how the sound worked in there
but I get a SsVabTranser failed(-1)..I guess it's not very usefull...argh!
Anyhow I have my sfx.vab which I split into sfx.vh and sfx.vh now how
do I access and play my sfx that I converted from pcm?  I know
you have to use SsUtKeyOn() but I can't get it to work right.
Also I have a seq file playing but I want to change the seq when 
action occurs.  How can I load up 3 SEQ files and play each one when
I choose to do so?  Can I or do I use the same VAB?  By the way what does VAB
have to do with opening up a SEQ file?  I would like to get some SFX in my
game and any help would be great...thanx.

Latah.....
