Steps To Reproduce

put this in init.sqf, start dedicated server and join

if (isDedicated) then {
"start" addPublicVariableEventHandler {

		_obj = "Land_Loudspeakers_F" createVehicle (_this select 1);
		playSound3D ["a3\sounds_f\ambient\winds\wind-synth-fast.wss", _obj];

};
} else {
if (isNil "start") then {

spawn {

			sleep 4;
			hint "creating speakers and starting server sound of wind from them";
			start = position player;
			publicVariable "start";
			sleep 2;
			hint "go to lobby and back now!";
		};

};
};

it will create quite long sound on the server. when you drop to lobby and back no sound will be heard while it is still supposed to be playing on server.
