Is there a flag somewhere that determines when a particular Allegro sound sample
has finished playing?  I wrote a routine to load a raw sound sample from disk
and play it using Allegro, but I can't find a way to detect when the sound has
stopped.

I could load it into memory, play it, then release it after a suitable amount of
time has passed; but that's clunky.  What I want to do is load the sound, play
it, detect its termination, and then release it.
