Ok, then because of bug #1 in my other mail I would say that no one should
ever use .DownloadSoundData or .UnloadSoundData repeatedly since they can
easily get to a state where memory is not released (At least according to
Task Manager).
That's a shame, that feature was going to help my music sound a lot
better....Luckily, I think my total DLS usage was still barely within
limits.
