Not that I know of (outside of preloading the entire file and then
playing it - but I haven't tried that and its not very feasible for
an audio-on-demand type situation)
Are you sure its not reading it from the buffer if the file was
completely played?
fwiw- SWAs are "real" streaming as compared with the more typical
Director progressive playback of chunks. Consequently, its a lot more
fragile
