[Bug-gnubg] Sound.c version 1.15 line 893

[Nardy Pillards]

GNUBg builds, Win32

The exit sound (and some other sounds too) don't play (just a short 'duh'),
because of the SND_ASYNC.
The advantage of async: the sound plays in the background while the program
continues.
Disadvantage: the sounds stops abruptly when another playsound() is called,
or ... when the program ends.

So I think (for the moment) it is better to change SND_ASYNC to SND_SYNC.
This way the sound is played, and the program only continues when the sound
is done.

Best would be to have both playsounds.
The sync for 'end' events, and the async for others.
('end' events like exit, game over, match over, dance)

sound.c, line 892-894:
#ifdef WIN32
      PlaySound ( filename, NULL, SND_FILENAME | SND_SYNC );
#else

There is another possibility too:
Insert Sleep (x) after the Playsound() that must be played before continuing
the program.
But I don't know if Sleep() is a standard C function.

I've published a gnubg.exe (gnubg-020920) on:
http://users.skynet.be/bk228456/gnubg-020920.zip
so you can take a look how the snd_sync behaves.
(For those that have Windows)
