When I try to play the BGM again while FMOD\_STUDIO\_STOP\_ALLOWFADEOUT is in progress, it doesn’t play. Is this the intended behavior?  
When the scene changes, I fadeStop the existing BGM and try to play the same BGM again, but it doesn’t play, so I’m asking.

I verified that SoundObject’s start() was called in the runtime code, but play was not called.

I think it’s because the maximum number of instances is 1.

Setting the max instances to 1 with the “None” [stealing mode](https://www.fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/event-macro-controls-reference.html#stealing) on could definitely cause that behavior - I’d recommend using the “Oldest” stealing mode instead and seeing whether that resolves the issue.
