Custom Faceposer Sounds?

EDIT: After much thought, I decided to put this into the modeling forum, as it is all about models 'n stuff. (And the modeling help forum looked empty 
)
Hey all, I'm having a very slight but annoying problem with faceposer.
I've read Hickadam's tutorial and the Moddb tutorial. However, I'm missing a very important part - I can't seem to get my wav files into a Speak event. I've opened the wav in the phonome editor, extracted it, played it (with the actor lip synching the wav), but when I go to add a Speak event, the sound doesn't show up at all!
I thought it was something to do with a script file, but I added a script file (mapname_soundscripts.txt) and it still can't see the sound in the Speak event.
"sdk_faceposer.facetest"
{
"channel" "CHAN_VOICE"
"volume" "0.80000"
"pitch" "PITCH_NORM"
"soundlevel" "SNDLVL_NORM"
"wave" "maps/testmap/facetest.wav"
}
Oh, and I am aware that it is entirely likely that all my scenes will screw up and they won't work on the map and everything will be messed up etc. but I feel the need to try anyways
Thanks for any help you guys can offer!

P.S. I've successfully made several faceposer scenes, but all with valve sounds. This is just screwing up for non-valve sounds.

Anyway, you can put the sound into the scene without doing that with the scripts. When you choose to add a new WAV file, completely ignore the box listing all the sounds. Type the path to the speech sound file in the "Sound" box, the \obsidian\sounds\ folder acting as the root. For instance, if your sound is located at "\obsidian\sounds\speech\hello.wav" you'd put "speech\hello.wav" in the box.
