Hello,

When using the Tomatinho package, I had no sound after 25 minutes, as
expected.

Trying to launch the sound file myself, I got:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "This Emacs binary lacks sound support")
  signal(error ("This Emacs binary lacks sound support"))
  error("This Emacs binary lacks sound support")
  play-sound((sound :file "tick.wav"))
  play-sound-file("tick.wav")
  eval((play-sound-file "tick.wav") nil)
  eval-expression((play-sound-file "tick.wav") nil)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Is this a limitation of Emacs on Windows, or a limitation in this binary?

Best regards,
  Seb

It's a regression that crept into the Windows build during development
of v24.4.  It is already fixed in the repository, so the next pretest
will be able to play sound on Windows again.

Closing, as this is already fixed in the emacs-24 branch and on the
trunk.
