Polyphonic stream cuts off streams

Question

I have a single AudioStreamPolyphonic resource that I set as the stream of my target AudioStreamPlayer. The polyphony value is set to 64.

I use the following script to play streams to it

extends Node
class_name EntitySFX

@export var BlockSound:AudioStream
@export var DeathSound:AudioStream

var asp:AudioStreamPlaybackPolyphonic;
var audioplayer:AudioStreamPlayer;

# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.
func _ready() -> void:
	audioplayer =  $"../AudioStreamPlayer"
	audioplayer.play()
	asp = audioplayer.get_stream_playback()
	pass # Replace with function body.

func _on_block(_damage: float) -> void:
	if BlockSound:
		asp.play_stream(BlockSound,0,-3,randf_range(0.9,1.0))

func _on_death(_damageable: Damageable) -> void:
	if DeathSound:
		asp.play_stream(DeathSound,0,5)

Multiple objects use this script to play their soundfx, but for whatever reason the audio is cut. The first stream sounds ok is but cuts off too soon most of the times.

The DeathSound won’t even play eventhough it does print a valid return ID

One thing I noticed is that most Id’s are low numbers with the ocasional high ID like 8589934595 or 4294967299 etc, for those i notice it hard cuts the sound.

Am I missing something? Is there a reason why this is happening?

Ok so turns out that, obviously in hindsight, if you kill the object the audio player attached to it is killed as well.

My solution that works : SFXPlayer script singleton make stream calls from that.

If someone knows a better way please let me know!
