Do you mean besides having a volume bar for each channel, which can effectively mute a channel if the player sets it all the way down? If you want a toggleable option per channel, that shouldn't be difficult, either. See:

Your `PATH` is a environment variable for your user. How you set it depends on what operating system you are using.

Well, yeah, because your sound is playing on the music channel, which stops the previously playing music.

You can use either `\u` escape sequences (or `\U` for a 32bit value):
```
"You bought an Acme Portable Tunnel\u00a9."
```
Or named unicode characters (see [unicode charts](http://www.unicode.org/charts/) - these aren't the same thing as HTML entity names) - those these are verbose:
