Here's another simple approach - cue points. If you are in control
of these sounds, just add a cue point at the beginning of the sound
(or end depending on your design) with a cue point name giving the
name of the sound. Then have an "on cuePassed" handler where you
would do whatever you want to do whenever one of these sounds starts
(or ends). Even if you are not in control of these sounds, you keep
a list of all sounds to play, and could embed a cue point in your one
or two second "spacer" sounds, and on every call to "on cuePassed",
just increment a count as an index into your list to know what sound
is playing (or just finished).
