The Sound API seems to be missing a function to indicate that a sound is finished playing. Is there some other way of finding out if the sound is done?

You can track this by storing the sound instance id that e.g. play() and loop() return. Example code:

private Sound sound;
private Long soundId;

...

public void startSound()  {
    if (soundId != null) {
        return;
    }
    soundId = sound.loop();   // or sound.play()
}

public void stopSound() {
    sound.stop(soundId);
    soundId = null;
}

If you didn't want to have to call stopSound() from client code, you could just call it from startSound() instead of the return, to ensure any previous sound is stopped.
