(See the best response by Fushimi.)
Code:
for(var/sound/s in player)
    if(s.file=='secretSong.wav')
           del s


Problem description:I was hoping i could do something like this. Can I do something similair?

Are you trying to delete a file? If so use the fdel proc.

There are workarounds to do such thing, but you would need to keep track of what channel is the song playing it:

#define EFFECTS_CHANNEL 15
#define MUSIC_CHANNEL 5

proc/sendSound(client/client, sound/sound, channel = 0)
    if(!client || !sound)return 0
    sound = sound(sound)
    sound.channel = channel
    client << sound

proc/clearChannel(client/client, _chann = 0)
    if(!client) return 0
    client << sound(null, channel = _chann)


This way you can set up as many channels as you like, and keep track of specific sounds you would want to remove.

However, I have a snippet that handles Sound effects very well, you might want to take a look at it as it is efficient.

However, if you are only going to handle a handful of sounds, the approach debscribed here may fit your needs better.
