Unpreparing an event asynchronously and then re-preparing the same event before it finishes the unprepare
What happens if you unprepare an event asynchronously and then call prepare event on it (synchronously or asynchronously) before it finishes unpreparing?
All of the prepare/unprepare requests are ...
- Is event preparing/unpreparing (AK::SoundEngine::PrepareEvent()) ref-counted?

- How to avoid duplication of source files when a sound exists in multiple soundbanks
The soundbank system in Wwise lets you do this by storing source files in a separate soundbank. For example, let's say you have the following sounds in Wwise:
Sound A
Sound B
Sound C

- When the game must choose between multiple variants of a sound (for example footsteps on different ground materials), should I create separate events or a single event with switches?
...re than one switch (for example if some sounds are reused for several gun types), you might want to prepare new switches with PrepareGameSyncs() before unpreparing other switches, so sounds that are s...
