I have two part question:
1. How do you stop correctresponses from ending a sound trial?
2. If so, can you allow someone to respond multiple times within the same trial without it ending when you respond correctly the first time?

And I have a third question;

3. Can you assign different correct responses to multiple stimuli within the same trial. For example, if I had two different sound files in the same trial and I wanted participants to press a key (spacebar) for one sound file, and nothing for the other, how would I do this? If it is even possible?

Cheers,

Re. #1: Set the <sound> element's /playthrough attribute to true. Also see the documentation for the <trial> element's /responseinterrupt attribute.
Re. #2: No.
Re. #3: You would usually have two separate <trial> elements (one for each sound) to do this. In Inquisit, a <trial> element collects a single response (there is some trickery one can pull in certain situations using /isvalidresponse etc., but it's not clear whether this would be applicable to your situation).

Thank you for taking the time to provide those answers. That clarifies some of the issues I was facing.
