Determines if SPPlayer is currently reading from a particular SPSound.

bool spIsSoundInUse (const SPSound *sound)

Determines if SPPlayer is currently reading from a particular SPSound. An SPSound cannot be removed from its owning SPPlayer while it is being read from while the player is running. This function is necessary for a client to know when it is safe to remove an SPSound.

• sound Pointer to SPSound to test.

TRUE if sound is currently being read by player; FALSE otherwise.

Returns FALSE too early for Sample Item class SPSounds. Since the spooler is given a pointer to the Sample Item's memory directly, rather than copying it into the spooler buffers, it must not return FALSE until a Sample Item SPSound has actually finished playing, not finished being read.

Library call implemented in music.lib V24.
