Expanding Scratch Sound
I'm working on a patch to expand scratch's sound capabilities. So far I've made a pause, resume, set (sound effect) to %n (so far only reverb) , change (sound effect) by %n, reset sound effects, sound effect (sound effect) (reporter), stop sound %S, %S is playing (boolean), %S seconds (reports current seconds for sound).
Any feedback is appreciated.

I haven't quite gotten there yet but I hope to get that fixed as well. The only thing that worries me is that maybe the Scratch team had no other choice than to use mono-sound, but I doubt that.

Re: Expanding Scratch Sound
Probably %S seconds should be renamed to %S length 
It sounds cool and can't wait!

I should rename it, but not to length. I should rename it to %S current seconds, because it's obvious that it's use may be misconceived. It reports how long the sound has played, basically current seconds.

Oh, you see, even I misunderstood the function

Re: Expanding Scratch Sound
I'm glad that you're supportive, I really hope this works out eventually. This will probably breach compatibility with scratch projects. Instead of using SampledSound I use MixedSound for stereo, I still have to adapt everything to work this MixedSound. Scratch tends to lag when the sounds page is open and a stereo track has been imported. I've tested a few songs such as Terry Jacks Seasons In The Sun and Chris DeBurgh Lady In Red. At one point I forgot that I was using scratch to listen to them. So, it's perfect quality. I'm just going to work a little on making the blocks work properly with it, then I'm gonna work on Audio Units (sound effects), including reverb echo pitch and pan.

Good news. I got Scratch to play an aiff in stero. Now I'm just gonna have to work on modifying the importing script.
Does it play other formats?
And are you working on any formats besides the ones regular Scratch recognises?

Cool. You should add support for OGGs, WMAs, Apple's formats, and FLAC.

I'll do that if they're built in.
