If anyone is interested in knowing why the example provided here: http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article1881.asp refuses to play any sound file after you load it, play it, and restart your program, it's because you need to create separate objects for 3d and regular sound. The following objects need to be created separately: A non 3d pSegment, pPerformance, and pLoader. Don't forget to create separate Play and Stop wrapper functions for each segment or else you'll be pulling hair wondering why it won't work (at least I was).

If that's true, it's probably best to post it in the article related thread, so other people using the tutorial can benefit from your solution. :)

Didn't know it existed, but now it's done. Thanks! :)
