Instance handles for Streams

[asafigan]

I see that there are Instance handles for sound tracks but not for Streams. Is there a reason for this? it would be nice for example to play multiple streams on a single change and be able to control each one separately.

I would be willing to work on this if it is as simple as replicating the functionality from the normal audio interface.

The soundtrack instance handles do not give any additional control. They enable you to check the playback state of the track.

Control is what channels are for. Is there a reason you do not want to play your two streams in separate channels?

It seems odd not to have control over individual tracks and streams.

For me, I would like to use one music channel and one sound effects channel so that the player can change there volumes individually. But if I need to be able to stop a sound effect half way through than I have to keep track of all the sound effect settings myself and create a new channel for each instance of a sound effect. I would probably want to have a sound effect pool tracking which of these channels are being used and which aren't.

This seems like a lot of work for a user of this library to have to implement just for a pretty simple feature. I feel like it would be better if you could have control over individual tracks and use channels for broader effects. I feel instance handles would be a great way to achieve this.

Streams, as previously supported, were removed when the plugin was updated to Kira 0.6.

Supporting audio streams for the new Kira version is part of #63
