Store/play sounds using Paradox table

I'm trying to write an application that will record voice messages and store them in a Paradox table for later playing. I think I could use TMediaPlayer to record and play the messages, but I don't know how to store and play them using a table. Can someone help me? (please suply code samples).

Set up a blob field in your database (lets call it 'message'). In you code do this:

// After recording the sound you have a file like sound.wav To save it do this:

(AQuery.FieldsByName['Message'] as TBlobField).LoadFromFile('sound.wav');

// To play the sound, do this:

(AQuery.FieldsByName['Message'] as TBlobField).SaveToFile('sound.wav');

// Then play it with media player, like this:

TheMediaPlayer.FileName := 'sound.wav';
TheMediaPlayer.Open;
TheMediaPlayer.Play;

How does this sound? <g>

Cheers,

Raymond.

Thank you very much for your answer, rwilson, but I think Simonet solution is closer to my needs, because he also shows how to create a wave file manually in different frequencies. If I could, I would give you both the points, really.

Simonet, muito obrigado pela resposta. É muito bom ver um brasileiro no "topo". Um abraço!

Obrigado, hacqua!

É bom saber que eu não sou o único brasileiro por aqui, e venho constantando que estamos marcando uma presença significante por aqui.

Abraços,
