The sound flags determine how to play a .wav file. They can be combined as long as a contradictory pair is not put together (like SND_ASYNC and SND_SYNC).

SND_ALIAS
  Play a Windows sound (such as SystemStart, Asterisk, etc.).
SND_ASYNC
  Continue program execution immediately after starting to play the sound.
SND_FILENAME
  Play the specified filename.
SND_NODEFAULT
  Do not play the default sound if the specified sound cannot be found.
SND_NOSTOP
  Do not stop any currently playing sounds.
SND_NOWAIT
  Do not wait if the sound driver is busy.
SND_SYNC
  Wait until the sound has finished playing before continuing program execution.
