SoundNote takes an option SoundVolume, so I guess you could pad the end 
of your sound with a few notes of zero volume.

This however raises another missing feature of the sound system - I'd 
like to be able to monitor how far I am into a sound, or at least to 
know when it has completed. At the very least, I'd like to have an 
option on EmitSound to return only when the sound has stopped playing.
