I can't answer your original question; but what you are asking for right there is easy.
Go in your 'sound' settings in your control panel. I believe it is the sounds 'exclamation' that comes on when you type an incorrect password. Change the wave file it uses and VOILA! |

Try looking up the fork() system call. I beleive it provides the functionality you are looking for. |

You can write a small service and get it to analyze all mouse change events (or any other events that you might be interested in).
If an event that you're interested in comes up then spawn a new thread and play the .wav file or do whatever action you want to do.
I'm not sure if this would be an overkill for what you want but hope it helps. |

jdat would be correct with thaat one, although operating systems might differ slightly in the place the sounds are changed |
