which coincidentally play sounds from time to time. Unfortunately,
CoreAudio is very cumbersome for lightweight use; the Sound Manager
still requires many fewer lines of code to play a simple sampled
sound. (The Cocoa side has NSSound, which is based on QuickTime and
is lighter-weight than Sound Manager, not to mention non-deprecated,
but I don't know of a Carbon equivalent "easy" sound technology.
Maybe QuickTime could be directly leveraged without needing a ton of
code.)

Sounds like good material for a Radar request for simple Carbon APIs to replace them.

Frankly, it's not something I need myself, so I'm going to let someone else do the voting for it. :) My code uses CoreAudio or OpenAL directly, because we do more than simple beeps.

Even if I did need it, I have no qualms with just using NSSound. I'm sure it'd work fine in a Carbon-based app, much like how Carbon calls tend to work fine in a Cocoa app.
