Start ambient audio tracks at random points?
I was looking for a way to initialize my ambient tracks at random points so that when each scene loads they don't sound exactly the same every time.
I searched all over but couldn't find any similar questions to this problem on unity answers... but then I eventually figured it out on my own. Very simply once I understood how to use audio.time. Here is my code; Please give alternative solutions if you they are better

var soundToPlay : AudioSource;
var randomStartingTime;
function Start(){
randomStartingTime = Random.Range(0.0, 780.0);
PlaySound();
}
function PlaySound(){
soundToPlay.time = randomStartingTime;
soundToPlay.Play();
}
function Update(){
//print (soundToPlay.time);
}
You can also just mute tracks instead of stopping them, although I wouldn't do this with a very large amount of tracks for performance reasons.
