Seeking an TGE OpenAL master (winxp) to solve this puzzle

I am having trouble playing sounds in the GUI .

I think OpenAL is working correctly cause I CAN HEAR the
sounds of the player walking when I have start a mission.

some facts :

- OpenAL is installed
- openal32.dll is in winsystem dir and the tga executable dir

- OpenAL is initialized correctly
( can see that in console.log )
OpenAL Driver Init:
OpenAL
Vendor: Creative Labs Inc.
Version: OpenAL 1.0
Renderer: Software
Extensions: EAX 2.0, EAX 3.0, EAX Unified, and EAX-AC3

- All volumes in defaults en prefs of all channels are set to 1
instead of the 0.8

I have created a test function : testSound(%mode) : that tries to play a sound using a profile (mode 1) and using a created Source (mode 2)

When I play the sound with mode 2 (created Source) . It says it is playing and it realy looks like it because when I execute the command again quickly it echo's me he is already playing the particular sound. But I am not hearing anything ... !!

and yes .. my headphone's volume is turned on ! :P

I think that when my testfunction will give me some sound I will have no problem linking sounds to GUI elements ..

Can NE1 get this function to work in the GUI ?

The source below I have put in a separate .cs file that is
executed in the client init.cs function just after the centerPrint.cs and just before the default.bind.cs
( is compiled and included correctly )

If I am correct the function should play a sound when
called from the console from within a GUI. The
Testing.wav should be present in the default data\sound dir.

Just doesnt work 4 me :(

--SOURCE--

new AudioDescription(AudioGuiTest)
{
volume = 1.0;
isLooping= false;
is3D = false;
type = $GuiAudioType;
};

new AudioProfile("Testing")
{
filename = "~/data/sound/Testing.wav";
description = "AudioGuiTest";
preload = true;
};

function testSound(%mode)
{

if (%mode == 1) {
alxPlay("Testing");
echo("Now playing Audioprofile 'Testing'");
}
else
if (%mode == 2) {

$audioFilename = expandFileName("~/data/sound/Testing.wav");

if (!alxIsPlaying($TestAudioHandle)) {
$TestAudioHandle = alxCreateSource("AudioChannel8",$audioFilename);
alxPlay($TestAudioHandle);
echo("now playing sound " @ $audioFilename);
}
else {
echo("already playing " @ $audioFilename);
}
}
else {
echo("Please provide a mode parameter (1/2).");
echo("1 : alxPlay a profile");
echo("2 : alxPlay a createdSource");
}
}
