I highly recommend you convert that .wav file to either .ogg or .wma so that it doesn't add 1-8MB (depending on the length of the SFX) to your resource file's size.

I'd say the guide is your best friend in this case.
Chapter 11.2.3 explicitly states an example of an area with sound.
It's a pity too few people tend to read the guide.

Though it uses usr in a (movement) proc there and uses Enter() where Entered() is more appropriate (but might've not existed at the time), so I wouldn't stick too close to the example. >_>

I never claimed that the example would be either perfect or he most optimized way to go about it.
Actually, I don't think that this would be the main intention of a guide, as it should move step by step, teaching the reader based on what s/he knows and can use.
So, instead of highly optimized code, it might lead the reader slowly to a working solution that can be understood and learned from, which might be more useful to someone who could not do it in any way before.

I didn't claim you claimed anything. However in this case it's a matter of doing it right, not optimization; people could (and probably have) understand from that that (ab)using usr in procs is fine, if not informed otherwise.
