I should also mention that the proposed use (playing multiple simultaneous sounds asynchronously) is probably not a good fit for the current API, in that playing a sound interrupts an already-playing sound.  This works well for introductory students, but sounds like it's not what you're looking for.

Let's call that a feature request.
