[RESOLVED] make a sound file repeat using WINMM.DLL

i am trying to make a sound file loaded from a resource file repeat until stopped using WINMM.DLL

Dim sndData() As Byte


Private Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "WINMM.DLL" Alias _
"sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As _
Long) As Long
Const SND_SYNC = &H0
Const SND_ASYNC = &H1
Const SND_NODEFAULT = &H2
Const SND_LOOP = &H8
Const SND_NOSTOP = &H10

play the sound
sndData = LoadResData("hit", "SOUND")
sndPlaySound sndData(0), SND_LOOP

stop the sound
sndPlaySound ByVal 0, 0
how can this be done?

I'm trying to wrap my mind around the fact, that the API expects a string and he sends the first member of his byte-array

for some reason oi got to work by changing this line:
sndPlaySound sndData(0), SND_LOOP
to this
sndPlaySound sndData(0), SND_LOOP Or SND_ASYNC Or SND_MEMORY

Look up the difference between SND_SYNC and SND_ASYNC. That'll help you understand.
