Copy of the test:
 def test_alias_nofallback(self):
 if _have_soundcard():
 # Note that this is not the same as asserting RuntimeError
 # will get raised: you cannot convert this to
 # self.assertRaises(...) form. The attempt may or may not
 # raise RuntimeError, but it shouldn't raise anything other
 # than RuntimeError, and that's all we're trying to test
 # here. The MS docs aren't clear about whether the SDK
 # PlaySound() with SND_ALIAS and SND_NODEFAULT will return
 # True or False when the alias is unknown. On Tim's WinXP
 # box today, it returns True (no exception is raised). What
 # we'd really like to test is that no sound is played, but
 # that requires first wiring an eardrum class into unittest
 # <wink>.
 try:
 winsound.PlaySound(
 '!"$%&/(#+*',
 winsound.SND_ALIAS | winsound.SND_NODEFAULT
 )
 except RuntimeError:
 pass
 else:
 self.assertRaises( <~~~~ HERE
 RuntimeError,
 winsound.PlaySound,
 '!"$%&/(#+*', winsound.SND_ALIAS | winsound.SND_NODEFAULT
 )
So according to Lib/test/check_soundcard.vbs, the buildbot has no soundcard. Is this correct?
