Turning off a sound that you've started

Back in March, when Tim Berners-Lee gave me a tour of the wonders of the
Web, one of the few nits I could pick was that he was able to start
playing audio documents from MSU's Voice Library, but we had to hunt
around manually for the process in order to stop the sound.

Do newer releases of Mosaic have a way to stop playing of an audio
document that's been started? Or if Mosaic doesn't have the ability to
kill a sound process it's spawned, is there a sound player for the Sun
that'll pop up a dialog box to let us stop the sound when we want to? We
have a demo coming up next week, and this might be a reason for doing a
Gopher demo on a Next instead of a Web demo on a Sun -- we want smooth
mouse control, not PSes and Kills in this demo.
