Does anybody know a way to detect what audio is currently being played through a sound channel. i.e. if I set a sound name to “\_hitting”, and attach this to “mySoundChannel”, then mySoundChannel = \_hitting.play(); is there any request that will tell me that “\_hitting” is being played?

thanks all
