NSMovieView stops playing

Hi! I've just surfed the archives fairly extensively, and although I found perhaps five different people asking about this problem, I didn't find a solution posted by anybody. So I'm hoping there's someone there who knows the answer and will enlighten us all.
I'm trying to use NSMovie and NSMovieView to play a sound (audio only). It's about six and a half minutes long. My code is brain-dead simple; (from memory -- exact method names may differ, but it's not like the API is large :->): alloc-initWithURL: for the NSMovie, alloc-initWithFrame: for the movie view, setMovie:, start:. The sound will play for some random length of time (occasionally all the way through, usually only twenty or thirty seconds), and then cut out. I think once or twice it has started playing again after a while, but usually it seems to be dead for good.
Does anybody have a workaround? Vince DeMarco mentioned not using NSMovieView at all, but rather just using NSMovie and direct QT API; I'm not sure how to do this, but I will look into the book he recommended if nobody offers a better solution. Is there a simple example somewhere of doing this? I really just need the most basic case of loading and playing the sound; I'm not trying to do anything fancy, I just can't have the sound cutting out partway through...
