Subject: play-sound-file is uninterruptible
X-Mailer: VM 6.26 under 20.1 XEmacs Lucid

I'm built XEmacs-20.1 final + official patch1 on a Linux 2.0.29
system.  To road test the patch to the sound driver I typed:

	M-x play-sound-file<CR> elvis.au<CR>

to play ~/elvis.au.  It worked.  I was happy.

Then my boss walked in...

As I pounded vigorously on the Ctrl-G key, verse after verse of (you
guessed it) "You ain't nuthin' but a hound dog" poured forth from my
way way too big, way way too loud speakers.  I was not happy.

Is there any way to interrupt XEmacs while it's playing a sound file?

Ahh, the perils of multimedia ... I ain't nuthin' but a hound dog.
