You could define a new constant such as SND_NODEFAULT_AND_SILENCE
whose value is not used by any of the existing constants (fdwSound)
and play your sound and then a Silence_1S.wav file which would be a silence
"sound". Then you could loop to get the BEEP-1S Silence- BEEP 1S
Silence -...

bool Play_Sound(LPCSTR FileName, DWORD PlayMode)
{
    switch(PlayMode)
    {
        case SND_APPLICATION:
             // The sound is played using an the sound associated with
             // the application.
             return PlaySound(FileName, NULL, SND_APPLICATION);

        case SND_SYNC:
             // Return after finishing playing the sound.
             return PlaySound(FileName, NULL, SND_SYNC);

        case SND_ASYNC:
             // Return immediately after beginning playing the sound.
             return PlaySound(FileName, NULL, SND_ASYNC);

        case SND_LOOP:
             // Play sound repeatedly.
             return PlaySound(FileName, NULL, SND_LOOP | SND_ASYNC);

        case SND_NODEFAULT:
             // If the sound cannot be found, PlaySound returns
             // without playing the default sound.
             return PlaySound(FileName, NULL, SND_NODEFAULT);

        case SND_NODEFAULT_AND_SILENCE:
             if (!PlaySound(FileName, NULL, SND_NODEFAULT))
                 return false;
                    // Play Silence_1S.wav Sound
             return Play_Sound("C:\\Directory\\Silence_1S.wav",
SND_NODEFAULT);

       default: // Error: Illegal Play Mode
             return false;
    }
}
