Sound number 1 is a beep sound and should only be used in the
short form (ie. "@sound_effect 1"). Real sound effects start at
number 3 and should be played by something like

"@sound_effect 3 2 $0106 #r$Routine",

ie. play sound number 3 once at volume 6 then call the routine.

My MS-DOS Zip 2.04 does. However, it has some bugs and so it is
still in the beta directory of the if-archive. From what I've
heard, Kevin Bracey's (?) Archimedes interpreter supports sound
effects as well.
