Would anyone happen to have a code fragment that illustrates how to setup
the required callback routines so you can have SoundPlay play a sound in the
background (async) mode?

The documentation I have (the revised IM chapter) isn't clear at all on how
to do this.

I'm working on a game and have to play sounds like gunshots, screams...etc
without interrupting the screen animation.  I need to know the proper way to

1. open the channel and specify a callback
2. play a snd resource
3. have the callback set a global flag
4. have my main event loop close the channel when the flag is set.

Thanks!
