Option "Wait for completion" in action "Play Sound" works not properly.
I found alternative solution:
Instead action "Play Sound" I use action "System: Start Application".
I found four audio-players, which they have "auto-close" switch in command line:
1by1 (http://mpesch3.de1.cc/1by1.html)
AudioPlayer (http://audioplayer.sourceforge.net/)
Wv_player (http://www.webxpace.net/cgi-bin/countdo ... v_play.zip)
yPlay (http://www.spacejock.com/)
Every one works perfectly.

For example this file: http://data2.edisk.cz/stahni/15231/wav9 ... .85MB.html
Tip: "STAHNOUT SOUBOR" = download.
Normal duration = 94 seconds.
Eventghost plays only cca 44 seconds.
I have also others examples.

Confirmed.
This happens only for long WAVs, as the underlying wxPython function is only meant for short clips (such long clips seldom make sense with "wait for completion"). But since the action is also very limited because it can only play WAVs and not MP3 or other formats, I put this on the ToDo list. There are other DirectShow based functions in wxPython which might be better.

I did some tests with alternative implementations and concluded, that a change is not worth the effort. As said before, playing such long clips with "wait for completion" seldom makes any sense. The action is only meant to play a short audio notice.
So I move this thread out of the bug-reports forum, as I regard it at most as a limited feature, but not a bug anymore.
