StdSound is a platform-independent module, so it doesn't look
right to call a Windows API function there. And if I look at
<http://www.cs.kun.nl/cgi-bin-st/clean/viewcvs.cgi/libraries/ObjectIO/ObjectIO/StdSound.icl>
Peter's comment for this change is: "(PA) Uniform Object I/O dd.29
juni '01.", where uniform means Mac/Windows.

My guess is that if you remove the comment it will just work (only
on Windows, of course).
