Oops, I forgot something important, you have to download to your audiopath
before you can play it, even if you have the download all content box
checked in the script properties. The thing is DMusic automatcally DLs to
the default audiopath, but not your new audiopaths created dynamically in
the script.
So before you play you need:
segment.downloadsounddata audiopath
When you are done call:
segment.unloadsounddata audiopath
Just be careful if you are using script tracks, in DX9 script
tracks+downloadsounddata = glitch city if you are already playing something
at the time of the download.
