you can't update that property while it's playing.
I was thinking more like
sound(4).queue([#member: member("sound1"), #which: 1 ])
sound(4).queue([#member: member("sound2"), #which: 2 ])
sound(4).queue([#member: member("sound2"), #which: 3 ])
sound(4).queue([#member: member("sound1"), #which: 4 ])
& then monitoring sound(4).which would tell you which item from the
original queue was now playing.
Irv's idea is MUCH better.
