My app takes a few seconds to load and I have a splash screen. Once "viewDidLoad" I have a little sound play. I feel that the sound would be in better use if it started playing when the splash screen popped up. Is it possible to have a sound start before/during the splash screen?

Here is my code: (under viewDidLoad)

NSString *soundFilePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: @"intorSound" ofType: @"aif"];
		NSURL *fileURL = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath: soundFilePath];
		player = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL: fileURL error: nil];
		[player setVolume: soundVolumeValue];    // available range is 0.0 through 1.0
		[player play];

		[fileURL release];

Thank you for your time!
