Multiple sound in Turing?

-----------------------------------

Is there a way to play 2 files at the same time?  For Music.PlayFileReturn, if you start a new music file, the old one ends.  I need to have multiple sound files playing at the same time (using turing, not wmplayer etc).

Anyone know what to do?

process playfile(f : string)
    Music.PlayFile(f)
end process

fork playfile("song1.mp3")
fork playfile("song2.mp3")

Look up Music.PlayFileLoop in F10 Help 

there is an example of background music and another sound overtop

On the PC, different formats of music can play simultaneously. This means that a program might use a MIDI file as a background soundtrack and then use WAVE files for individual sound effects. The sound effects would not interfere with the background music. Playing a second music file with the same format as an already playing piece immediately halts the first piece and starts the second. This can be used to stop a single type of music by playing a short silent piece of music.
