Subject: sound task - either not doing anything or infinitely looping

I'm getting what I think is very strange behaviour from the sound task. As =
I understand it=2C this is supposed to play sounds at the end of a build=2C=
 depending on whether the build failed or not.
My first attempt came down to simply this:

   =20
       =20
       =20
   =20

This results in absolutely nothing being played=2C regardless of build succ=
ess or failure. I am positive that the files are in the correct location an=
d that there is nothing out of the ordinary with them.
I then started playing around with the attributes=2C and found that if I se=
t the duration to anything other than "0"=2C for example:

   =20

       =20

       =20

   =20


This results in the sound being infinitely repeated=2C keeping the Ant proc=
ess from ever terminating until I kill it.

The value of "duration" doesn't have any influence on the behaviour=3B exce=
pt when it's set to 0 in which case again nothing at all happens (as expect=
ed). The value of "loops" does not have any impact at all.
I used several different wav files and they all yield the same result.
I tried the sound task in all possible locations (inside an "init" target o=
n which everything else depends=2C inside its own target=2C at top level)=
=2C and the result is always the same.
Running with -verbose and -debug didn't yield anything relevant.
For completeness' sake=2C I'm running on Windows XP SP2=2C with jdk1.6.0_10=
 and ant-1.7.1.

Summing up=2C without optional attributes nothing happens=3B with any stric=
tly positive duration it loops forever. As far as I could google and search=
 this and other mailing lists=2C no-one else has ever reported this problem=
. I'm at a complete loss=2C I think for the first time ever... on what seem=
ed like a simple and fun icing on the cake of finishing up a script=2C and =
d'oh! :-)

Thanks in advance for any tips=2C
Best regards=2C
Ward
