  yes that sound will never stop. but if you have out of sound channels, then Sound:play will return nil instead of stopping a playing sound.

  if I :setPaused(true) the channel, is it also safe from being stopped?
  
  also, do paused channels count towards the max number of voices available? I can't decide what I'm seeing..

  Yes.

  Most probably yes. I couldn't find information about this on OpenAL's documentation.

  erm, yeah, seeing hearing is not enough. I've been testing with paused channels and I seem to be able to hit a higher maximum if they're paused. I'll test again.. can't hear paused channels
