Yes, you can get any number of audio streams running at the same time, but
the behavior you mention should not have happened. Load timing issues, I
suspect, as the Itinerary buttons load a blank html file into the sound
frame to stop the current audio, then the "Please Wait.." HTML loads all
the correct files (including the new audio) into the proper frames. (The
VRML, once it's running, replaces the "Please Wait.." message)

In some cases, it seems that IE4 is actually more stable than NC4.5. On my
new system (PII 350mhz, Riva TNT w/OpenGL acceleration, T1 line), I get
some inexplicable crashes trying to load some scenes in Netscape, but IE
does fine.
