No, I had this (really minor) problem with the DOS version a year ago, 
I think John didn't use MSVC then? 
Checking, I find it has disappeared from the DOS version (3.473),
but it's indeed there in Winsound (3.476): 
When running the second time to the same output file, Csound dies with 
a message like
	sfinit: cannot open E:\Csound\Winsound\test.wav

I suppose it's a slightly more annoying problem with Winsound than 
for the DOS version, since under Dos it's natural to run from a batch
file, 
and then it's trivial to insert a line like 
	if exist %SFDIR%\test.wav ATTRIB %SFDIR%\test.wav -r
after the Csound command line.

Gabriel, perhaps you should mail the patch to John (as if he won't
find it in, er, under 30 secs? (any takers?)...)


HTH,
