Hello all,

[Does | Will] BlitzMax have a function to allow you to check whether or not a sound is playing? If not, does anybody have any novel ideas on how to go about doing so?

Context: I need to be able to prioritize sounds--some of em' should never be interrupted, while others can safely drop out should I run out of free channels.

Devs, thanks for a great product--BlitzBasic worked wonderfully for Jardinains!, and I'm sure BlitzMax will be even better for Jardinains 2!
