Play file.wav question

I have been trying to follow all the discussions about playing music, ABCPlayer, random noise, MP3's etc. Unfortunately, it has mostly gone completely over my head. :-| I am looking for a simple answer (to a probably very un-simple question.) Will it be possible for codea to be able to play a wav file in the somewhat near future using an API similar to

playSound("battle.wav")

The other options sound interesting, but are not really what I am hoping for.

    Yes, it will be possible to do this in the future. Except the syntax will be:

    sound( "Dropbox:battle" )
 
and
 
music( "Dropbox:battleMusic" )

    @Simeon , fantastic stuff! Will you be able to do things like change the volume level (easy then to use the tween library to fade sounds in and out) and perhaps a callback for when the sound has finished playing? Probably asking too much at this stage ;-)

    What file types will be supported? (Please include .wav, .mp3, and .ogg?)

    And in addition to everything @andymac3d said, maybe have the function return a variable you can use to change pitch too?
