Be careful a pick a short sound - this driver is loading the processor heavily while it plays, and you get either bad sound or frozen machine until the sound is finished, if "your machine is suboptimal" ( (c) by M$)..
Though, I've seen a nice thing done with it - it was installed on an unfinished machine (half of the units were still hanging out of the box), and the "start windows" event sound was a sound of some 1920's car starting, with all the coughing, clanking and other sounds. At the same time the disk lamp still went flashing like crazy, and the sound actually came from inside the machine :).
