Basic question about playing sounds.

Not sure why there is play music and play ambiance as they seem to be much the same.   Is that because ambiance using SFX and can be background sounds effects?  Just curious.

As they survive scene changes, they provide a more convenient way of handling playback of longer, looping sounds than regular audio.

It's your choice to use the dedicated Actions, however - you can just use the Sound: Play Action to play music/ambience if you prefer.
