wxruby users - Sep 2010 - evt_media_loaded not working on vista/windows 7

For some reason the evt_media_loaded is not being triggered on my
windows vista and windows 7 machines. I use this so that I can auto play
audio, and as soon as it''s loaded I can play. I also have a windows XP
machine where it works just fine using the exact same code. Is there
anything I can do to fix this, or is there any way around this?

Right now I have it wait .5 seconds before trying to play the audio
file. But it may take longer to load different files based on size, and
also sometimes users play remote files on servers, so there may be a
slow connection.

Anybody have any ideas? What I''m trying to do is auto play audio once
it
has loaded. My solution right now has been to just user a static timer 
and hope that the audio loads within that time. Once the timer counts 
down it will try to play the audio. However, if the audio is not done 
loading it will not work correctly

It appears to be a bug in wxWidgets:
http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/10958

We will have to wait for a fix in the underlying library - I don''t have
Windows 7 so unfortunately I can''t look into it myself.

There is some discussion on this page - but it sounds like the final 
workaround is similar, ie call sleep(1) after load.
