Windows Can you spam audio_sound_gain?

I've realized that you can run audio_sound_gain and it will still transition smoothly even if it's being run multiple times as the sound fades.

What is the performance impact with sound functions like this? Are they taxing?

repeat (500) {audio_sound_gain(snd, 0.0001, 5000);}

Let us know

I'm not asking people to do it for me, I ask in case someone already knows.
I didn't realize in the past that when I helped people on this forum that I was supposed to scoff and tell them to do it themselves.

It's probably trivial. But that's totally an assumption.

Seems to be. I don't see a tangible difference. I wonder what exactly happens on the back-end when the same function is run twice for it to continue the fade without issue.

Well, either way seems like there's little impact if you do it a few times every step.

I don't know. At first, I thought maybe it's just that you're overwriting values that it will perform later, but then I remember this scenario...

audio_sound_gain(snd,.5,1000); // will fade sound from 1 to .5

audio_sound_gain(snd,0,0);
audio_sound_gain(snd,.5,1000); // will fade sound from 0 to .5

So I would assume your commands will stack up and cost some amount of performance, but again, can't be much.
