Tedd,

Because the sounds were repeated in exactly reverse order, my 
imagined model is this:  the sounds were initially actived in the 
correct order, but each event issued an error dialog which, when 
clicked on, repeated its corresponding sound.  I didn't start 
clicking on the error dialogs until all three sounds had 
activated.  Because the error dialogs stacked first-in-last-out 
order, the top-most dialog I clicked on was for the third 
sound.  Clicking it repeated sound 3 and disappeared, revealing error 
dialog 2.  Clicking on dialog 2 repeated sound 2 and disappeared, 
revealing dialog 1...  This looks to me like a characteristic of 
client-side window behavior, not of client-server communication.
