Because you are not waiting for the sound to finish playing.

You're right, that's it!

[[NSSound soundNamed:@"Submarine"] play];
sleep(3);

works. :-)

Only remaining question: Do you happen to know of a more elegant method than sleep() to wait for the (actual) time when the sound is finished?

I would say that you take a look at the main() generated in a standard cocoa
application to see how it differs from yours.

In the openstep days I remember that in order to write a tool that used
appkit objects we had to instantiate an NSApplication or something like that
to establish a connection with the window server and make our code work.

While that's true in general, it would have made no sense to assume that NS*Sound* is dependent on the Window Server, even though it's in the AppKit.

I have no real idea, but isn't the sound named Submarine.aiff?

That's true, but +soundNamed: doesn't take a file or path name as the argument, but just the sound name. Whether that's an .aiff, .snd or .wav file, whether it's located in /Library/Sounds, /System/Library/Sounds or ~/Library/Sounds - all that is taken care of by this method automatically. One of the beauties of Cocoa :-)


Thanks to all who answered!
