sound, and a looping thing

[Crispin]

Hello listers,

I'm new to Octave and have been learning it's features today - fantastic
it is too but I have a couple of questions!

1. the playaudio() function works for the default of 8 bit 8kHz audio.
Is there any way of playing other formats (say, 16 bit 44kHz)?  ...or
should I get coding?

2. I tried one of the examples in the manual - the following:
x.a = 1
x.b = [1, 2; 3, 4]
x.c = "string"
for [val, key] = x
  key
  val
endfor

and Octave crashes (running under cygwin here).  Interrupting reveals
that it's looping infinitely over x.a without ever progressing to x.b
and x.c.  Is this a bug or have I typed something silly?

many thanks in advance,
