Allocating and Releasing Sound Channels
If you use a high-level Sound Manager routine to play sounds, you might be able to let the Sound Manager internally allocate a sound channel. However, to use low-level sound commands or to take full advantage of the Sound Manager's high-level routines, you must allocate your own sound channels. TheSndNewChannelfunction allows your application to allocate a new sound channel, and theSndDisposeChannelfunction allows your application to dispose of it.
