/*!
 @brief    This is a quick hacky wrapper on Audio Services
 to play an alert sound cheaply and reliably (in contrast to NSSound)

 @details   Requires System/Library/Frameworks/AudioToolbox.framework,
 which is Mac OS 10.5 or later.

 In the earlier System Sound API, for these sounds to play, it was required
 that, in System Preferences > Sound > Play User Interface Sound Effects
 be enabled.  But this appears to work without it.
