Does this function actually do anything? I've never noticed any change in behaviour in sound-scripts with this set either TRUE or FALSE. :confused: :p :D

I note a difference if I'm using low-bitrate sounds. I think it does try to queue the sounds, but it depends on where they are in the stream.

Now, does llPreLoadSound() really do anything? That's what I want to know.

Miaoux, Jillian. =^^=

I thought it was supposed to allow (or disallow, depending) one sound to interrupt a second, instead of waiting for the currently playing sound to finish. It boggles my mind! :D

I think llPreloadSound() works; I've played with it a little, and it does seem to reduce the wait for a sound to start playing the first time...

For the love of god do not use sound preloads... or at least be careful with them. They are simply LAGTASTIC.
I have fond memories of days gone by, when people didn't have streaming and instead made me preload 200 sound clips for albums I would never play.
