If they are *.wav, use "play %s" command, and if they are *.mp3, use "madplay %s" or "mpg123 %s", as well as "ogg123 %s" for *.ogg files.

If vol == 100:100 and pcm == 10:10, it will be very silent. :-) Do other applications (music and movie player, games etc.) play louder sounds? > PS: sorry for my terrible English :) I'm not sure mine is better, don't mind.
