Maybe the PlaySound() function would be enough for this?

Sure! You can always play the sounds sync'ed in a thread for example.

Maybe this PlaySoundThread class will help you:

Btw, I suspect this has something to do with the recorded silence you asked 
about in another thread. My advice is to not have the silence included in the 
samples in an application like this. Use a TTimer() to get the silence you 
need instead. That way you can reuse the same sound, but with different times 
of silence.

Kind regards,
