   Since a WAV file is a bitstream (?) you could just split up your WAV into   
   64k chunks, and then grab the chunks from the resource file, binary writing   
   them   
   one after the other into a temporary file, and use sndPlaySound to play that   
   file.   
      
   For splitting WAVs, have a look at http://www.009soft.com/produc   
   s/wav-splitter.htm   
   as an example.

   Yes, you could do that too. May be easier. :)
