through to completion (unless receiving a stop command) even if another play
command is received while playing.
Channel numbers range from 1 through 8, or “*” for All Channels

Assign Sound
Description: This command causes the 8TraXX to assign a sound file to a specific channel. If the
next play command is sent without a sound number specified, the sound number
assigned to the particular channel in the Select File command is used. This is
especially useful for All Channel play commands, where you can leave the sound
number unspecified, and the channel number is specified as ‘*’. The 8Traxx will
start playback of all channels at the same time, using the assigned sound numbers for
each channel specified by a previous Select File command.
