[issue8618] test_winsound failing on Windows Server 2008

[Brian Curtin]

New submission from Brian Curtin <curtin at acm.org>:

Some of the test_alias_* functions in test_winsound are failing with a RuntimeError "Failed to play sound" when run on Server 2008 R2. 

The sound from each test exists in the registry so the test doesn't end up getting skipped. I'm guessing there is some missing privilege, so it's possible we should additionally skip based on that.
