+----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+

Loads and plays a sound file through the SMSQ/E Sampled Sound
System. If rep% is present the file will be played rep%+1 times.

Just like SOUNDFILE except using another job not owned by the caller
so that the command returns immediately.

**Note 1**

The file is not loaded into memory so it should be played from a fast
device like a ram disk.
