While this thread is rather old, I have a similar issue - while using the soundpool with the correct streamIDs.
There is a looping sound being started, remembering its stream id. But when I try to stop it like this: SoundPool.stop(mId); nothing happens... the sound simply keeps looping. This happens on API3, API4 and API7... The only way to stop the sounds is by releasing the soundpool instance - but this way, I have to reload all pre-cached data again.
