So I've been trying to put together the project from this website that lights up an LED when there is unread mail in gmail:
http://blog.tinyenormous.com/2008/11/25/gmail-notifier-project-for-dummies/
I've gotten it to run as is, but now I'd like to incorporate this wave shield (Audio Shield for Arduino) so that instead of activating the LED, it activates audio from the wave shield. The code I'm using in arduino is below, and I've tried tampering with it but I'm not sure where to go from here. If you have any advice on how to alter this code or any general recommendations, it would really help. Thanks.

#include <SdReader.h>
#include <avr/pgmspace.h>
#include "WaveUtil.h"
#include "WaveHC.h"
SdReader card; // This object holds the information for the card
FatVolume vol; // This holds the information for the partition on the card
FatReader root; // This holds the information for the filesystem on the card
uint8_t dirLevel; // indent level for file/dir names (for prettyprinting)
dir_t dirBuf; // buffer for directory reads
WaveHC wave; // This is the only wave (audio) object, since we will only play one at a time
int outPin= 12; //Ouput connected to digital pin 12
int mail= LOW;// Is there new mail?
int val; // Value read from the serial port
int incomingByte;
// Function definitions (we define them here, but the code is below)
