You will have sent a voice-off for that virtual ID before you re-use it.

You certainly need a stop event.  You can define a "reset" event to be a
stop followed by a start (would have to be different timestamps) or you
could define a separate reset event.  However, I don't really see a need
for a reset event, when you canb have virtually unlimited virtual voice
IDs.  Just use a new one.
