Is there a way to play audio in DBP at a different point in the sound file than the start?

For instance, If I have an audio file that is 10 seconds long... let's say its a looped drum beat, but I want it to start playing at the 4 second mark of the audio file (Maybe skipping a few drum sounds) is that possible?

apparently your F1 key is broken, so i'll help:

PLAY SOUND

This command will play the specified Sound Number. An optional parameter allows you to specify a start
position in bytes that skips the initial part of the sample to be played.

Syntax

PLAY SOUND Sound Number
PLAY SOUND Sound Number,Start Position
"


Quote: "
LOOP SOUND

This command will play and loop the specified Sound Number continuously. Optional parameters allow you
to specify a start position, end position and initial position in bytes that a looping sound will use as it
plays.

Syntax

LOOP SOUND Sound Number
LOOP SOUND Sound Number,Start Position
LOOP SOUND Sound Number,Start Position,End Position
LOOP SOUND Sound Number,Start Position,End Position,Initial Position

Lol not broken...

DBPRO isn't installed on my laptop yet, and I was working on a concept for a program. I didn't know whether or not to do it in VB, or DB and this capability is key that's all...
