hypeDocument.unloadAllSoundsByName

resets all the audio element and removes them from the DOM given the library name (without mp3/ogg)
You will only need this if you are concerned with garbage collection.

/**
* hypeDocument.unloadAllSoundsByName 1.0
* @param soundname
*/
hypeDocument.unloadAllSoundsByName = function(soundname){
    if (!hypeDocument.hasOwnProperty('_sounds')) return false;
    var success = false;
    for(var id in hypeDocument._sounds) {
        if(id.indexOf(soundname+'_-_') == 0){
            var elm = hypeDocument._sounds[id];
            elm.src=''; elm.load();
            elm.parentNode.removeChild(elm);
            delete hypeDocument._sounds[id];
            success = true;
        }
   }
   return success; 
}

Usage:
Given you have a “soundfile.mp3” in your library and are using it multiple times (see loadSound for details) this function will remove all instances by name.

hypeDocument.unloadAllSoundsByName('soundfile');
