a/c incident and question...

'98 900SE, 167k miles
Had a/c on yesterday in heavy traffic. All of a sudden I notice the cool air isn't cool anymore, just outside warm air. Seconds later, I hear a "pop" from the passenger side and see some smoke coming out near the passenger tire that dissipates after a few seconds. I quickly turn the ac off thinking the compressor may have seized and didn't want to cause any more damage. I've been able to drive the car normally since then since everything else seems to be working properly. Coolant level is okay, temperature normal, cooling fan operating okay.
I've been debating if I should turn on the AC to see what happens but I've was afraid to cause more damage. Well, today I turned it on for a few seconds and wasn't surprised that no cold air blew, but also heard a continuous hissing sound. Usually the hissing sound is short when engaging a/c, but this wouldn't stop until I turned it off.
Someone previously posted a similar experience where the pressure switch needed replacing, but what would the "pop" sound have come from?
