Stopping _SNDPLAYCOPY ?Possible?

[SMcNeill]

Not to say it's a bad idea or anything, but how the heck would one implement it?

Let's say me hero has a zappy gun.   I load the "pew pew" sound file.

I fire off three zaps.

_SNDPLAYCOPY  "pew pew"
_SNDPLAYCOPY  "pew pew"
_SNDPLAYCOPY  "pew pew"

Now, the second one hits the enemy.   How would _SNDSTOPCOPY know to stop that second "pew pew" and not the first or third?  Wouldn't it need a handle to specify which sound to actually stop?

And if it does, then wouldn't it basically be the exact same as _SNDCOPY?

How could you ever specify which copy to stop, without a handle, and if you have a handle, why wouldn't the existing commands already handle the issue?
