If you've loaded the .VH and .VB correctly, it should just be a matter
of using SsUtKeyOn() to play Sound FX. If it's not working, you've
done something wrong. Unfortunately, there's not enough information
here to tell what that might be.

I'm not sure. I'd say yes you can load multiple SEQ's, but I havn't
actually done it so I don't know the specifics of how. I'll see what I
can find out.

Yes you can, No you don't have to.

>By the way what does VAB have to do with opening up a SEQ file?

The system needs to know which VAB data to use when playing the SEQ
file.
