Hi, OK, think I've found it:
In sonar go to options menu, and global. then on the first 'tab', as it opens, go along until you find the option "always import Broadcast waves at their time stamp",- you want to uncheck this. Hope this might be the solution; I had it doing this for ages with some samples I bought, and I'd import say a snare into a project at the right point, and suddenly the project would be many minutes longer than it was before, and the snare would be sitting in some random place miles away from where I'd tried to import it! Hope that might help.
