 "I am having a problem with getting sound effects to play continuously
 until told to stop (loop).
 I thought the way to do it was to first use the -L when using aiff2vag
 to make it a looping sound effect, and then in the program create an ID
 for the sound effect (like LASER) and then when wanting to start the
 sound write: LASER = SsUtKeyOn(), and then when stopping it, write:
 LASER = SsUtKeyOff(). Is this correct? or am I missing something.
 
 I have a feeling my broblem is in the arguments passed to the two
 functions. Maybe someone could explain to me what exactly needs to be
 done special to make a sound effect loop?"

You've done everything correctly. No special arguments need to be set
to  loop sound. The sound was either converted as a looping sound or
not. However, if you reuse the PSX voice that is playing back a looping
sound, no more looping sound.
