Yes, that should work. It might not be accurate enough if you require 
the sounds to overlap exactly, but I'd expect the differences to be on 
the order of microseconds.

Yes, exactly. Unfortunately, this is not accurate enough for seamless 
concatenation of the sounds - you'll have an unpredictable gap of 
several milliseconds. Seamless concatenation is just not possible at the 
moment.

In the current development version of Pipmak, sounds have a duration() 
method that you can use for that purpose. In Pipmak 0.2.7, your only 
option is determining the duration of your sounds beforehand and 
hardcoding it in your script.

pipmak.schedule() takes seconds, not milliseconds.
