Description
In Flight of the Amazon Queen when you left the building after the Floda alarm went off, a single tone from the alarm would constantly play afterward. The tone only went away by restarting the engine.

Yes, I believe it's a musical note. You're right, there was no alarm sound just music.

Hmm... I could have sworn I wrote a comment when I attached the patch. Anyway, what I wanted to say is that it could very well be as simple as just stopping the current song before playing the next one. I don't know why we don't do that already, and I played through the beginning of the game - up to the plane crash - with the patch, without noticing any problems with it.

Explicitly stopping the music seems a safe change to me.
I've just tested the patch too in a few areas where it might have been problematic (where music is queued), but I've not noticed any problems.

Ok, I've committed the patch to the trunk. It's probably a bit too late to get it into the branch. It doesn't strike me as a serious bug.
If it's where I think it is (after rescuing the princess), I couldn't reproduce it when I tried. In fact, I didn't hear any sound effect from the alarm at all.
On the other hand, in an earlier scene when the music changed, a note from the old song seemed to be playing over the new one. Were you able to tell if the tone you heard was a sound effect or a musical note? It looks to me like it doesn't explicitly stop the old music when the new one starts.
