sounder.exe - play a wav file from the command line

Description:

Sounder.exe is a small console program that plays .wav files from the command line, then exits. It was written to provide audible alerts from windows batch files.

Note: The current version is no longer asynchronous - it blocks until the sound is finished. If you want the two seconds of noise that doesn't delay your batch file, see the old versions below.
