It has become increasingly clear that the architecture suggested by libgui's audio::Sound is unworkable due to the design of the mechanism for looped playback (ambient sounds). An altogether different approach (which, largely follows vanilla) would achieve an objectively better solution.
My new plan of action is to focus on ambient sounds, starting with the unification and commonization of the existing mechanisms for this in Heretic and Hexen.
Although, it may be possible to adapt some of this work into a future branch, at a later stage (e.g., new mechanisms for managing drivers and playback channels).
