There must be something crufty in your code. I am doing this
currently in my game and it is working on all API versions (3+).
Post your code (both the "play" code and the "stop" code).
This is what I do (summarized):
SoundPool pool = ...
boolean loop = ...
int streamId = pool.play(soundId, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1, ( loop ) ? -1 : 0,
1.0f);
...
if(streamId != 0){
pool.stop(streamId);
streamId = 0;
}
