If a sound is defined as dsempty, it will still interrupt playing sounds on the given channel.

Re: dsempty interrupts playing sounds
That's because dsempty is not 'no sound' but just a silent sound. The engine never checks its content, but since what you define is not sound index 0 it is still being treated as a valid sound by the high level code.

Re: dsempty interrupts playing sounds
It used to work like that for years. If that's changing, then is there a new way to have 'no sound' defined?
