See, here's the problem.  I use StandardGetFile, which returns a reply
that I can really only use to get a file descriptor.  It doesn't return
a pathname, though it returns volume ID's and such that I can use for
the standard Mac file routines.  If Codewarrior had fdopen(), this would
be great, but for now I'm using the equivalent of open().  Will that not
work?  It plays the sound well enough when it doesn't clip.  Also, is
there any Mac Toolbox equivalent to fopen() that I could use with an
FSSpec instead of a pathname?
