Cannot cancel the playing of a sound sample

[Davin Pearson]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing
list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I want to use the play-sound feature to turn my computer into an alarm
clock, notifying me with different sound samples when different
appointments are due.  However I cannot play a long WAV file as there
is no way of cancelling the playing of a sound sample that is
currently playing.  Can anyone help me to work out how to cancel a
sound sample that is currently playing?  You would expect Control-g to
work but it doesn't.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
d:/Program Files/emacs-22.2/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
