I seem to remember Mark adding the ability to use up to 1024 channels simultaneously (fairly recently). AFAIK FMOD mixes the channels down internally.

For the global volume, you could use something like:

Global g_snd_volume# = 0.5
...
chn = MyPlaySound(bang, 0.5)
...
End

Function MyPlaySound(snd, vol#=1)
 Local chn
 
 If g_snd_volume = 0 Then Return
 
 chn = PlaySound(snd)
 ChannelVolume chn, vol# * g_snd_volume#

 Return chn
end Function

Function MyChannelVolume(chn, vol#)
  If chn then ChannelVolume chn, vol# * g_snd_volume#
End Function

Or did you mean more of a 'normalising' type of affair?
