How to loop audio in soundmanager2

How can we loop the same audio file in soundamanager2?

This is my sample code

function playSound(url) {
            soundManager.setup({
            url: 'swf',
            onready: function() {
                 soundManager.createSound({
                 id: 'samplesound',
                 url: url,
                 volume: 100
                 });
                 soundManager.play('samplesound');
                 }
            }); 
        }

I am calling it from a tag like

<a href='javascrit:void(0);' onclick='playSound('url');'></a>

How can I loop this sound continuously for respective times?

You can loop the sound using the play command

The following should play the sound 3 times

soundManager.play('samplesound',{loops: 3});

a hack to get the loops working could be

var loops = 3;
var looped = 0;
    soundManager.createSound({
                     id: 'samplesound',
                     url: url,
                     volume: 100,
                      onfinish:function() { 
                         if(looped<loops){
                             soundManager.play('samplesound'); 
                             looped++; 
                          } else{   
                             looped = 0;
                          }
                      )}
                     });
