Stopping sounds played with "playSound()"?

[Lilltiger]

Is there a way to stop a sound that is played using the "playSound()" function, I cant find anything about that in the documentation nor in the forum.

[Neikun]

redefine the sound and turn loop =false?

That do not stop the sound, it just stops it from repeating, but if i have a sound that is 4min+ long, but want to stop upon user interaction.

A stopSoundAt(sound, level, x, y) would be great. Even a stopSoundAt(x, y) that just stopped all sounds in x, y would be good.

I've tried several things and can't get sounds to stop.

[Lilltiger]

or stopSound(soundname)

one possibility would be to break up that 4min sound into something like 10 second increments (24 of them) and have a timer set to 9.9 seconds which starts the next segment UNLESS something has happened, in which case the timer won't play the next part. It wouldn't be an exact end to the sound in the right moment, but at least it would end within a few seconds.

I have been thinking about doing it like that, just a lot of extra work
