Cool I got my sounds working because of Grim and Mario's response.  I
loaded all 15 of my sound fx into one .vb and .vh file.  Each sound
Effect is a different program and they play great. I sampled at 22 khz
and to get the sound to play correctly I used SsUtKeyOn(0, program, 0,
77, 64, 127, 127);	where 77 plays the sound in the correct pitch.

God I love programming PlayStation.  Mario, sorry about the complaints a
couple of months ago. The newsgroups solve all my problems.
