Game Music/Sound Effects

I was just wondering, is there a way to play a music file without resetting a music file already being played. For example I have background music playing, but when I go to play a sound effect the song resets.

I think the hack for Turing is to use music files of different formats (mp3 / wav / midi), for situations when you want overlapping sound.

Yeah, save your background music as MP3 and all your sound effects as WAV. Then you should be able to play both background and sound, but you can't play 2 sounds at the same time. It's a Turing problem.
