The Director 8 sound control Lingo IS in need of some way of
identifying that the sound playlist has advanced. An generated event
would be really nice.
Having a cue points at the beginning and end of each sound should
facilitate this.
btw: monitoring for a change in sound().member or sound().currentTime
can both fail if the queue contains 2 subsequent elements drawn from
the same member.
ie sound().getPlayList = [[#member: member 1, #startTime: 100,
#endTime: 1100],[#member: member 1, #startTime: 1200, #endTime: 2200]
