Windows sound

I'm stuggling a little bit with playing a large .wav file. It's a message from my VOIP provider. I received it through an email. It plays fine with Windows Media Player, but will not play with win32-sound. I've also tried using dl and both sndPlaySound and PlaySound in the winmm.dll. They don't play it either. All of the calls to win32-sound,sndPlaySound and PlaySound play simple wav files like tada.wav.

  Do you know of an interface to the Media Player? Or how Sound can be coerced to play a large file?

Thanks in Advance

I'm not sure what you're ultimately trying to do, but when I want to
control media playback from Ruby on windows, I usually use mplayer.
It's easy, and mplayer has a ton of commandline options.

But, like I said, I'm not really sure what you're trying to do...
