playSound repeating with very short audio clip

[travhimself 10]

I have CfgSounds in my description.txt that look something like this:

 

class CfgSounds {

    sounds[] = {};

    class sound_radioin {
        name = "sound_radioin";
        sound[] = {"@a3\dubbing_radio_f\Sfx\in2a.ogg", 2, 1};
        titles[] = {1, ""};
    };

    class sound_radioout {
        name = "sound_radioout";
        sound[] = {"@a3\dubbing_radio_f\Sfx\out2a.ogg", 2, 1};
        titles[] = {1, ""};
    };

    class sound_radionoise {
        name = "sound_radionoise";
        sound[] = {"@a3\dubbing_radio_f\Sfx\radionoise2.ogg", 3, 1};
        titles[] = {1, ""};
    };
};

When I play sound_radionoise (which is several seconds long) in a mission using...

playSound "sound_radionoise"

...it works just as you would expect -- it plays a single time and stops.

 

However, if I try to play either of the other clips, which are very short in duration (less than 1 second), they will repeat several times before stopping.

 

It almost seems as though there is a minimum length to a playSound, and the clip gets looped until that minimum is reached. I've tried adding "duration = .25" to each of the troublesome clips, and this seems to have no effect -- they repeat several times, just as before.

 

Any ideas?

Further discovery:

 

This may only be happening only with .ogg files. Very short clips in .wss format seem to work fine.

For closure: I was never able to get those clips working properly with playSound. In the end I moved them into CfgRadio and now play them over sideRadio.
