Playsound Radius and More

I feel as if the /playsound command could be more reliable. I think some new features to add onto the playsound command would definitely help. Instead of solely relying on Volume for radius, you can split it up to Volume and Radius. Without Radius it will act like before radius is added, where Volume acts as radius. Then there could also be a SkipTo/Time, which is measured in ticks. When a sound is played it will immediately skip to the time listed in SkipTo/Time and start from there. Which could be useful for making multiple sound effects on one track and cutting it it-game to reduce amount of files. Something else that could also be cool is if you could allow for more pitches than 0.5 to 2, maybe up to 4 and down to 0.25. Note Blocks may not have to take advantage but it will most likely help mapmakers. Example: /playsound sound source targets x y z volume pitch minvolume radius time

    Radius is honestly something that the client should have full control over: attenuation distance is already a thing in sounds.json, which determines how far the sound can be heard... if total volume is equal to 1 that is.

    Just removing the range requirement from the command, and letting the client decide whether it should hear it or not is much better.

    Going hand in hand with this, some sounds aren't actually affected by the distance-volume thing like ambient.underwater.loop, they instead play with the same volume no matter how far the player is from the sound's source. I already filed a bug report for this but I think this is a much better solution than just having all the sounds be distance-dependant.
