There is no way to stop and dispose of copies until it finishes playing. Also, the C++ side implementation is trivial.Thank you for considering this.
Maybe we can have this in 3.15 when we make more audio-specific improvements.
Oh yeah, that's right, as you point out _SNDCOPY will make another instance in RAM than needs to be removed with _SNDCLOSE. More overhead that I didn't consider.
