Thanks RaiMan.  This is good to know and it works.

I am writing the following, hoping that others may benefit from my
experience.

I first used run() to launch the Windows Media Player to play my audio
files. Because I want the Player to exit after playing each sound file,
I passed to it 2 command line options: /start and /close.  But Windows
Media Player ignores the /close flag and stays up.  This causes  my
Sikuli script to get stuck at the run() step.

I googled and found that with another media player MPC-HC (https://mpc-
hc.org/), I can also pass to it the options /start and /close, and
/close actually works with MPC-HC.  So now I am using MPC-HC to play my
audio files in my Sikuli script.
