I tried either from code like this:  
public function onRollOver()  
{  
\_root.dbg.text += this.beepSound + "  
";  
this.beepSound.start(0);  
}

or from timeline. I got debugging text and about 0.5-1 sec after the wav file is played back.  
I don’t have any gap in the sound file. Using CS3.

Looking forward for any ideas.
