+sound_playevent({name} [, {callback}])
+		Play a sound identified by {name}.  Which event names are
+		supported depends on the system.  Often the XDG sound names
+		are used.  On Ubuntu they may be found in
+		/usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo.  Example: >
+			call sound_playevent('bell')
+
+<		When {callback} is specified it is invoked when the sound is
+		finished.  The first argument is the sound ID, the second
+		argument is the status:
+			0	sound was played to the end
+			1	sound was interruped
+			2	error occured after sound started
+		Example: >
+		   func Callback(id, status)
+		     echomsg "sound " .. a:id .. " finished with " .. a:status
+		   endfunc
+		   call sound_playevent('bell', 'Callback')
+
+<		Returns the sound ID, which can be passed to `sound_stop()`.
+		Returns zero if the sound could not be played.
+		{only available when compiled with the +sound feature}
+
+							*sound_playfile()*
+sound_playfile({name} [, {callback}])
+		Like `sound_playevent()` but play sound file {name}.  {name}
+		must be a full path.  On Ubuntu you may find files to play
+		with this command: >
+		    :!find /usr/share/sounds -type f | grep -v index.theme

+sound_stop({id})					*sound_stop()*

+sound_stopall()						*sound_stopall()*
