<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The TQSound class provides access to the platform audio facilities.
<p>
<p> TQt provides the most commonly required audio operation in GUI
applications: asynchronously playing a sound file. This is most
easily accomplished with a single call:
<pre>
TQSound::<a href="#play">play</a>("mysounds/bells.wav");
</pre>
<p> A second API is provided in which a TQSound object is created from
a sound file and is played later:
<pre>
TQSound bells("mysounds/bells.wav");
bells.<a href="#play">play</a>();
</pre>
<p> Sounds played using the second model may use more memory but play
more immediately than sounds played using the first model,
depending on the underlying platform audio facilities.
<p> On Microsoft Windows the underlying multimedia system is used;
only WAVE format sound files are supported.
<p> On X11 the <a href="ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/audio/nas/">Network Audio
System</a> is used if available, otherwise all operations work
silently. NAS supports WAVE and AU files.
<p> On Macintosh, ironically, we use QT (<a href="http://quicktime.apple.com">QuickTime</a>) for sound, this
means all QuickTime formats are supported by TQt/Mac.
<p> On TQt/Embedded, a built-in mixing sound server is used, which
accesses <tt>/dev/dsp</tt> directly. Only the WAVE format is supported.
<p> The availability of sound can be tested with
<a href="#isAvailable">TQSound::isAvailable</a>().
<p>See also <a href="multimedia.html">Multimedia Classes</a>.
<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQSound"></a>TQSound::TQSound ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;filename, <a href="tqobject.html">TQObject</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;parent = 0, const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;name = 0 )
</h3>
Constructs a TQSound that can quickly play the sound in a file
named <em>filename</em>.
<p> This may use more memory than the static <tt>play</tt> function.
<p> The <em>parent</em> and <em>name</em> arguments (default 0) are passed on to
the <a href="tqobject.html">TQObject</a> constructor.
<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQSound"></a>TQSound::~TQSound ()
</h3>
Destroys the sound object. If the sound is not finished playing <a href="#stop">stop</a>() is called on it.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#stop">stop</a>() and <a href="#isFinished">isFinished</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="available"></a>TQSound::available ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
<p> Returns TRUE if sound support is available; otherwise returns FALSE.
<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="fileName"></a>TQSound::fileName () const
</h3>
Returns the filename associated with the sound.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isAvailable"></a>TQSound::isAvailable ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Returns TRUE if sound facilities exist on the platform; otherwise
returns FALSE. An application may choose either to notify the user
if sound is crucial to the application or to operate silently
without bothering the user.
<p> If no sound is available, all TQSound operations work silently and
quickly.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isFinished"></a>TQSound::isFinished () const
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the sound has finished playing; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> <b>Warning:</b> On Windows this function always returns TRUE for unlooped sounds.
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="loops"></a>TQSound::loops () const
</h3>
Returns the number of times the sound will play.
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="loopsRemaining"></a>TQSound::loopsRemaining () const
</h3>
Returns the number of times the sound will loop. This value
decreases each time the sound loops.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="play"></a>TQSound::play ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;filename )<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Plays the sound in a file called <em>filename</em>.
<p>Example: <a href="sound-example.html#x2813">sound/sound.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="play-2"></a>TQSound::play ()<tt> [slot]</tt>
</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Starts the sound playing. The function returns immediately.
Depending on the platform audio facilities, other sounds may stop
or may be mixed with the new sound.
<p> The sound can be played again at any time, possibly mixing or
replacing previous plays of the sound.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setLoops"></a>TQSound::setLoops ( int&nbsp;l )
</h3>
Sets the sound to repeat <em>l</em> times when it is played. Passing the
value -1 will cause the sound to loop indefinitely.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#loops">loops</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="stop"></a>TQSound::stop ()<tt> [slot]</tt>
</h3>
Stops the sound playing.
<p> On Windows the current loop will finish if a sound is played
in a loop.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#play">play</a>().
