I think that sound support should call a function with the name of the
sound file that is wanting to be played. Personally, I think that the
sound support not being able to play more than 1 sound at once is quite
annoying, and want to override it cleanly without needing to use an
alias that would be incompatible with the rest of the system.

I don't see why not.

Version 3.69 now supports a plugin callback that lets you override default sound output. Here is an example:



function OnPluginPlaySound (sound)
  Note ("Playing sound " .. sound)
end -- function


Of course, you would normally do something more complicated than doing a Note. Inside the plugin you can use COM objects or other techniques to play multiple sounds at once.

What will this do if a "stop all sound" command is issued from the menu or the stopSound function?
Would a check for an empty string be sufficient to tell your custom sound
function to stop?

I was hoping you wouldn't ask that, but as you have, I have amended it so that the "stop sound playing" menu item will call your plugin with an empty sound name. You could use that to tell your sounds to stop.
