Dont hold your breath for any changes to Sound, its probably just there for old programs.
Ha! I get all that, but allow me to argue a point...
We do have a more modern method, _SndPlay works fine for playing sounds and stopping them whenever we want. BUT you can't control pitch or choose a different waveform on the fly.
If for that, by more modern methods, we mean _SNDRAW, I don't know if I'd call it modern so much as manual! LoL
It shouldn't be so hard to say play me a MyPitch% Hz sine wave until I send the "Stop" command, should it? Especially in BASIC! My TI99/4A could do it in 1983, and a kid could understand it, without having to know the details the WAV file specification or do crazy stuff with timers or other difficult methods.
Just saying!
