 *    KTempFile tmp;
 *    if(sound.isIntern()) {
 *      tmp.file()->tqwriteBlock( sound.data() );
 *      tmp.close();

 *      {
 *        KMessageBox::error(0L,
 *                           TDEIO::NetAccess::lastErrorString(),
 *                           i18n("Failed to download sound file"),

 *  Unfortunetly KAudioPlayer::play is ASync, so to delete the temporary file, the best you can really do is set a timer.
