Crappy sound

Hello again. I'm postin' like the newbie I am, I'm afraid. When I use this code:
beginSound();
nephilim = loadSound("Nephilim.wav");
repeat(nephilim);
to play a high quality wav file, it comes out grainy and low quality. Is this just a limitation of the current language version, or can it be worked around?

The Processing engine resamples all audio files down to 8bit 8khz mono. This results in everything sounding like it's over a telephone.
CD quality is 16 bit, 44,100khz, stereo. (which is probably along the lines of what you're loading there.)
For now, just resample the audio yourself before adding it into your data/ directory to keep the applet sizes down. (A 100kbyte sample at CD quality can be resampled down to around 5kbytes or so when reduced to 8/8/mono. This will make low-speed internet users happy. 
This is noted on the following page:

"The sonic engine processes sounds at 8 bits, mono and 8000Hz."
