No, can't think of nothing better. But look carefully through all the
functions Sound class have (isPlaying, getEnabled, etc). But,
there is another bug i also reported (without any feedback as usual)
sometime ago: when u enable/disable some sound very frequently,
one moment it wouldn't turn off and would be left playing forever
(though all flags would show that it is NOT playing). Moreover, as far
as i remember, even when u set that hanged sound to null, it wouldn't
stop. It looks like it gets lost somewhere inside notorious Java Sound
Mixer.
Have a nice day,
vladimir
