Plays attached sound looping indefinitely at volume

How to use
llLoopSound("", 0.0);

Caveats

Section titled “Caveats”
  • A call to llLoopSound replaces any other sound (so that only one sound can be played at the same time from the same prim, except sounds started with the deprecated llSound which always plays sound files till the end. An object can play 2 sounds with llLoopSound if the function is called from different prims
  • If a second call to loop the same sound at a different volume is made from within the same script NO volume change is made.
  • llStopSound set just previous to the second call for a new volume allows the volume change with no discernible pause.
  • When call made from HUD attachment sound is only heard by agent the task is attached to.
