Basically I have a midi file in the background and have a sand storm wav file looping. I want to stop the sand storm sound and keep the midi file going. How would i do this?

If you supply a specific channel for the sand storm when you play it, you can cancel it by playing null on the same channel.
mob/proc
    Sandstorm()
        // play the sandstorm on channel 7
        src << sound('sandstorm.wav',,, 7)
    EndSandstorm()
        src << sound(null,,, 7)

You can stop all currently playing sounds but leave midis and songs running, by playing null on channel -2. Channel -1 stops songs and channel 0 stops all sound.
    silence_sound()
        set desc = "Turn off all currently playing samples."
        src << sound(null,,, -2)

    silence_music()
        set desc = "Turn off all currently playing songs."
        src << sound(null,,, -1)

    silence_all()
        set desc = "Turn off all currently playing sound."
        src << sound(null,,, 0)

Thank you shadowDarke,I know this response was for whoever started this thread but what you just posted is something I honestly didnt know
(I never knew sound took the integers [-2] and [-1] as parameters)
