play_sfall_sound

int play_sfall_sound(string file, int mode)

Used to play mp3/wav/wma files. The path given is relative to the Fallout folder. Specify mode as 1 to loop the file continuously, 2 to replace the current background game music with playing the specified file in loop mode, or 0 to play the file once. If you don’t wish to loop, play_sfall_sound returns 0. If you do loop, it returns an id which can be passed back to stop_sfall_sound when you want to stop the effect. All sounds effects will be stopped on game reload, looping or not. Does not require AllowDShowSound to be set to 1 in ddraw.ini.

Starting from sfall 4.2.8/3.8.28, you can pass a value in the mode argument for a reduced sound volume. To set the volume, You need to convert the number to hexadecimal and use the argument format 0xZZZZ000Y, where ZZZZ is the volume reduction value in range from 0 to 32767 (the value 32767 is mute), and Y is the playback mode.
