A new version of Sound was added to project The Inbox:

Ancestors: Sound-nice.15

playSoundNamed: aString 

does not play anything if there is no sound with the name 'aString'. The user gets a dialog which is fine. But maybe there should be a sound as well. 

The playing of sounds should be made easier.

SampledSound playSoundNamed: 'hello'

is clumsy.

Something like 
Sound play: 'hello'  

(There is not class sound which is a bit odd, there is AbstractSound and SampledSound for example)
