sound(1).play() queues AND plays?

[Slava Paperno]

If I may, here is a questions for the sound gurus on the list:

This sequence works as expected:
sound(1).play(MyMember)
--a few seconds' play
sound(1).pause() --the playback is paused
--a few seconds' pause
sound(1).play() --playback resumes from where it was paused and plays to the end

This sequence plays the sound *twice*, contrary to my expectations:
sound(1).queue(MyMember)
sound(1).play() --playback starts
--let it play for a few seconds
sound(1).pause() --sound is paused as expected
--let it sit for a few seconds
sound(1).play()--playback resumes where it was paused, plays to the end and then plays the whole file again

My conclusion is that the sound(1).play() command (with no argument) not only resumes the playback, but also adds the same member to the queue, so subsequently it plays one more time. Yet the Lingo manual to D8 says that the form sound(X).play() merely starts the playback (i.e. does not queue).

I must be doing something wrong. What?

This is with D 8.5.1. under Win2K. The sound file is an MP3, imported to the cast as an external member.

What I am trying to achieve is very simple: queue (preload) one MP3 file and give the user Play and Pause buttons.

Any tips will be appreciated.
