Dan's link is a more streamed line way to go about this so I would definitely check it out. However to answer your question in regards to why that particular code wasn't working, it is because you env is much much longer so the release will continue on even though the gate has closed. You can use a second env using an Env.asr to close it out earlier if you need:
(
SynthDef.new(\SoundA,{
|gate=1|
var sine,env,susEnv;
//env = EnvGen.ar(Env.asr(0.1,1,0.25,-4),gate:gate,doneAction:2);
susEnv = EnvGen.ar(Env.asr(0.1,1,1.0,-4),gate:gate,doneAction:2);
env= EnvGen.ar(Env.new([0,Rand.new(0.0,
1.0),Rand.new(0.0,1.0),Rand.new(0.0,1.0), 0],[Rand.new(0.0,
17.0),Rand.new(0.0, 17.0),Rand.new(0.0,
17.0),Rand.new(0.0,17.0)],[0,3, -3, -1]) ,gate:gate,doneAction:2 );
sine = SinOsc.ar(440,0,0.3);
Out.ar(0,[sine,sine]*env*susEnv);
}).store;
SynthDef.new(\SoundB,{
var sine,env,gateEnv,length;
length = Rand(0.25,3.0);
gateEnv = EnvGen.kr(Env.new([0,0,1],[0.1+length,0]));
env = EnvGen.kr(Env.asr(0.1,1,0.25,-4),gate:(1-gateEnv).abs,doneAction:2);
sine = SinOsc.ar(200,0,0.3);
SendReply.kr(gateEnv,'soundBTrig',[env]);
Out.ar(0,[sine,sine]*env);
}).store;
o = OSCresponderNode(nil,'soundBTrig', { |t,r,msg| msg.postln;
~synthA.set(\gate,0); }).add;
)
(
t = Task({
loop {
~synthA = Synth(\SoundA );
2.0.wait;
Synth(\SoundB );
4.0.wait;
}
})
)
t.play
t.stop
o.remove;
Hope that helps. Best,
Chad

Yep I'd recommend what Batuhan suggests too.
I recently blogged about a related requirement, to use one synth to
pause/unpause another.

Replace Pause.kr with Free.kr and you have yet another way to do it...
