[LAU] Mixer4 1.08 and Waveplayer 1.0

[Grekim Jennings]

Hi Dan,
I have no plans to add other formats at this time, sorry.  Mostly,
because I wouldn't know where to begin, honestly,   I wrote it initially
as a stand alone function to go into Mixer4.  I am interested in
integrating it with Jack at some point.  And, it will be quite easy to
add a looping function.
