ok.. i thought i had tried this and crashed.. i'll try again.. the
whole WAV bit
kinda throws me off.

when i get the chance i am curretntly testing RISC OS versions of various SDL
and related libaries.. there isnt much optimisation going on behind the scenes
and i am not of the skills to do so, last time i attempted to test OGG playing
as music it was a bit painful.. but that was on a 245mhz StrongARM chip.

so that guy that was asking about ARM code in SDL...... RISC OS needs you ;)
