wavefile - sound file path.
frequency - frequency, 37 - 32767 Hz.
duration - duration, ms.
| Default | Play asynchronously (continue macro immediately). |

Syntax2: Supported are only .wav files. If wavefile not found, plays default sound. If wavefile is "", stops currently playing sound.
Supports macro resources (QM 2.4.1) and exe resources (QM 2.3.4).
Note: By default bee does not wait until finished playing. In exe the sound stops as soon as exe process ends.
Syntax3: On Windows 7 uses soundcard instead. On Vista does not work. On older Windows, if there is no PC speaker, uses soundcard or does not work.
