* \section intro Introduction
*
* Welcome to the irrKlang API documentation. This page should give you a short overview
* over irrKlang, the high level audio library.
* In this documentation files you'll find any information you'll need to develop applications with
* irrKlang using C++. If you are looking for a tutorial on how to start, you'll
* find some on the homepage of irrKlang at
* <A HREF="http://www.ambiera.com/irrklang" >http://www.ambiera.com/irrklang</A>
* or inside the SDK in the directory \examples.
*
* The irrKlang library is intended to be an easy-to-use 3d and 2d sound engine, so
* this documentation is an important part of it. If you have any questions or
* suggestions, please take a look into the ambiera.com forum or just send a mail.
*
* <br/>

*
*
* \section features Features of irrKlang
*
* irrKlang is a high level 2D and 3D
* cross platform sound engine and audio library.
* It has a very simply object orientated interface and was designed to be used
* in games, scientific simulations, architectural visualizations and similar.
* irrKlang plays several file formats such as
* <ul>
* <li>RIFF WAVE (*.wav)</li>
* <li>Ogg Vorbis (*.ogg)</li>
* <li>MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (*.mp3)</li>
* <li>Free Lossless Audio Codec (*.flac)</li>
* <li>Amiga Modules (*.mod)</li>
* <li>Impulse Tracker (*.it)</li>
* <li>Scream Tracker 3 (*.s3d)</li>
* <li>Fast Tracker 2 (*.xm)</li>
* </ul>
* It is also able to run on different operating systems and use several output drivers:
*<ul>
* <li>Windows 98, ME, NT 4, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8</li>
* <ul>
* <li>DirectSound</li>
* <li>DirectSound8</li>
* <li>WinMM</li>
* </ul>
* <li>Linux / *nix</li>
* <ul>
* <li>ALSA</li>
* </ul>
* <li>MacOSX (x86 and PPC)</li>
* <ul>
* <li>CoreAudio</li>
* </ul>
* </ul>
* <br/>
* <br/>

*
* \section tipsandtricks Tips and Tricks
*
* This section lists a few tips you might consider when implementing the sound part of your application
* using irrKlang:
*
* <ul>
* <li>If you can choose which audio file format is the primary one for your application,
* use .OGG files, instead of for example .MP3 files. irrKlang uses a lot less memory
* and CPU power when playing .OGGs.</li>
* <li>To keep your application simple, each time you play a sound, you can use for example
* play2D("filename.mp3") and let irrKlang handle the rest. There is no need to implement
* a preloading/caching/file management system for the audio playback. irrKlang will handle
* all this by itself and will never load a file twice. </li>
* <li>irrKlang is crashing in your application? This should not happen, irrKlang is pretty stable,
* and in most cases, this is a problem in your code: In a lot of cases the reason is simply
* a wrong call to irrklang::IRefCounted::drop(). Be sure you are doing it correctly. (If you are unsure,
* tempoarily remove all calls to irrklang::IRefCounted::drop() and see if this helps.)</li>
* </ul>
*
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
*
*
*
* \section concept Starting up the Engine
*
* irrKlang is designed so that it is very easy to achieve everything, its interface should
* be very simple to use. The @ref quickstartexample shows how to play and mp3 file, and there
* is another example, @ref quickstartexample2, showing some few more details.<br/>
* To start up the sound engine, you simply need to call createIrrKlangDevice(). To shut it down,
* call IRefCounted::drop():
*
* \code
* #include <irrKlang.h>
*
* // ...
*
* // start up the engine
* irrklang::ISoundEngine* engine = irrklang::createIrrKlangDevice();
*
* // ...
*
* // after finished,
* // close the engine again, similar as calling 'delete'
* engine->drop();
* \endcode
*
* The createIrrKlangDevice() function also accepts several parameters, so that you can
* specify which sound driver should be used, if plugins should be used, if irrKlang
* should run in multithreaded mode, and similar.
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
*
*
*
* \section playingSounds Playing Sounds
*
* Once you have irrKlang running (like in @ref concept), you can start playing sounds:
*
* \code
* engine->play2D("someSoundFile.wav");
* \endcode
*
* This works with all supported file types. You can replace "someSoundFile.wav" with
* "someSoundFile.mp3", or "someSoundFile.ogg", for example.<br/>
* To play a sound looped, set the second parameter to 'true':
*
* \code
* engine->play2D("myMusic.mp3", true);
* \endcode
*
* To stop this looping sound again, use engine->\link irrklang::ISoundEngine::stopAllSounds stopAllSounds()\endlink to stop all sounds, or
* irrklang::ISound::stop() if you only want to stop that single sound. @ref changingSounds
* shows how to get to that ISound interface.
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
*
*
* \section changingSounds Influencing Sounds during Playback
* To influence parameters of the sound such as pan, volume or playback speed during runtime,
* to get the play position or stop playback of single playing sounds,
* you can use the irrklang::ISound interface.
* irrklang::ISoundEngine::play2D (but also play3D) returns
* a pointer to this interface when its third ('startPaused') or fourth ('track') parameter
* was set to true:
*
* \code
* irrklang::ISound* snd = engine->play2D("myMusic.mp3", true, false, true);
*
* // ...
*
* if (snd)
* snd->setVolume(someNewValue);
*
* // ...
*
* if (snd)
* {
* snd->drop(); // don't forget to release the pointer once it is no longer needed by you
* snd = 0;
* }
* \endcode
*
* The irrklang::ISound interface can also be used to test if the sound has been finished,
* set event receivers, pause and unpause sounds and similar.
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
*
*
* \section soundSources Using Sound Sources
*
* To be more flexible playing back sounds, irrKlang uses the concept of sound sources.
* A sound source can be simply the name of a sound file, such as "sound.wav". It is possible
* to add "sound.wav" as sound source to irrKlang, and play it using the sound source pointer:
*
* \code
* irrklang::ISoundSource* shootSound = engine->addSoundSourceFromFile("shoot.wav");
*
* engine->play2D(shootSound);
*
* // note: you don't need to drop() the shootSound if you don't use it anymore
* \endcode
*
* The advantage of using irrklang::ISoundSource is that it is possible to set
* default values for this source, such
* as volume or distances if it should be used as 3D sound:
*
* \code
* irrklang::ISoundSource* shootSound = engine->addSoundSourceFromFile("shoot.wav");
*
* shootSound->setDefaultVolume(0.5f);
*
* // shootSound will now be played with half its sound volume by default:
* engine->play2D(shootSound);
* \endcode
*
* It is also possible to have multiple settings for the same sound file:
*
* \code
* irrklang::ISoundSource* shootSound = engine->addSoundSourceFromFile("shoot.wav");
* irrklang::ISoundSource* shootSound2 = engine->addSoundSourceAlias(shootSound, "silentShoot");
*
* shootSound2->setDefaultVolume(0.1f);
*
* // shootSound will now be played with 100% of its sound volume by default,
* // shootSound2 will now be played 10% of its sound volume by default. It is
* // also possible to play it using engine->play("silentShoot"), now.
* \endcode
*
* Using addSoundSourceFromMemory(), it is also possible to play sounds back directly from memory,
* without files.
* Of course, it is not necessary to use sound sources. Using irrklang::ISound, it is
* possible to change the settings of all sounds, too. But using sound sources, it is
* not necessary to do this every time a sound is played.
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
*
*
*
* \section sound3d 3D Sound
*
* There is nothing difficult in playing sounds in 3D using irrKlang: Instead of using
* irrklang::ISoundEngine::play2D(), just use irrklang::ISoundEngine::play3D(), which
* takes a 3D position as additional parameter:
*
* \code
* irrklang::vec3df position(23,70,90);
* engine->play3D("yourSound.wav", position);
* \endcode
*
* But to make it sound realistic, you need to set a minimal sound
* distance: If your sound is caused by a bee, it will usually have a smaller
* sound radius than for example a jet engine. You can set default values using sound sources
* (see @ref soundSources) or set these values after you have started the sound paused:
*
* \code
* irrklang::vec3df position(23,70,90);
*
* // start the sound paused:
* irrklang::ISound* snd = engine->play3D("yourSound.wav", position, false, true);
*
* if (snd)
* {
* snd->setMinDistance(30.0f); // a loud sound
* snd->setIsPaused(false); // unpause the sound
* }
* \endcode
*
* There is also the possibility to change the maxDistance, but it is only necessary to change this
* in very rare cicumstances.
* If the sound moves, it is also a good idea to update its position from time to time:
*
* \code
* if (snd)
* snd->setPosition(newPosition);
* \endcode
*
* And don't forget to drop() the sound after you don't need it anymore. If you do, it's
* nothing severe because irrKlang will still clean up the sounds resources after it has
* finished, but you still would waste some few bytes of memory:
*
* \code
* if (snd)
* {
* snd->drop();
* snd = 0;
* }
* \endcode
*
* To update the position of yourself, the listener of the 3D sounds, use this from
* time to time:
*
* \code
* irrklang::vec3df position(0,0,0); // position of the listener
* irrklang::vec3df lookDirection(10,0,10); // the direction the listener looks into
* irrklang::vec3df velPerSecond(0,0,0); // only relevant for doppler effects
* irrklang::vec3df upVector(0,1,0); // where 'up' is in your 3D scene
*
* engine->setListenerPosition(position, lookDirection, velPerSecond, upVector);
* \endcode
*
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
*
*
* \section removingSounds Removing Sounds
*
* irrKlang manages the memory usage of sounds by itself, so usually, you don't have
* to care about memory management. But if you know you need to reduce the
* amount of used memory at a certain point in your program, you can do this:
*
* \code
* engine->removeAllSoundSources();
* \endcode
*
* This will remove all sounds and also cause all sounds to be stopped. To remove single
* sounds from the engine, use:
*
* \code
* engine->removeSoundSource(pointerToSomeSoundSource);
* // or:
* engine->removeSoundSource("nameOfASoundFile.wav");
* \endcode
*
* Note: Only removing buffered sounds will reduce the amount of memory used by irrKlang, streamed
* sounds don't occupy a lot of memory when they are not played.
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
*
*
*
* \section events Using Sound Events
*
* In order to wait for a sound to be finished, it is simply possible to
* poll irrklang::ISound::isFinished(). Another way would be to constantly use
* irrklang::ISoundEngine::isCurrentlyPlaying to test wether a sound with that name or source
* is currently playing. But of course, an event based approach is a lot nicer. That's why irrKlang
* supports sound events.<br/>
* The key to sound events is the method
* \link irrklang::ISound::setSoundStopEventReceiver setSoundStopEventReceiver \endlink
* of the irrklang::ISound interface
* (See @ref changingSounds on how to get the ISound interface):
*
* \code
* irrklang::ISound* snd = engine->play2D("speech.mp3", false, false, true);
* if (snd)
* snd->setSoundStopEventReceiver(yourEventReceiver, 0);
* \endcode
*
* The optional second parameter of setSoundStopEventReceiver is a user pointer, set it to whatever you like.
* 'yourEventReceiver' must be an implementation of the irrklang::ISoundStopEventReceiver interface.<br/>
* A whole implementation could look like this:
*
* \code
* class MySoundEndReceiver : public irrklang::ISoundStopEventReceiver
* {
* public:
* virtual void OnSoundStopped (irrklang::ISound* sound, irrklang::E_STOP_EVENT_CAUSE reason, void* userData)
* {
* // called when the sound has ended playing
* printf("sound has ended");
* }
* }
*
* // ...
*
* MySoundEndReceiver* myReceiver = new MySoundEndReceiver();
* irrklang::ISound* snd = engine->play2D("speech.mp3", false, false, true);
* if (snd)
* snd->setSoundStopEventReceiver(myReceiver);
*
* myReceiver->drop(); // similar to delete
* \endcode
*
* The irrklang::ISoundStopEventReceiver::OnSoundStopped() method is guaranteed to be called when a sound or sound stream has stopped,
* either because the sound reached its playback end, its sound source was removed,
* ISoundEngine::stopAllSounds() has been called or the whole engine was deleted.
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
*
*
*
* \section memoryPlayback Memory Playback
*
* Using irrKlang, it is easily possible to play sounds directly from memory instead out of
* files. There is an example project showing this: In the SDK, in /examples/03.MemoryPlayback.
* But in short, it simply works by adding the memory as sound source (See @ref soundSources for
* details about sound sources):
*
* \code
* engine->addSoundSourceFromMemory(pointerToMemory, memorySize, "nameforthesound.wav");
*
* // play sound now
* engine->play2D("nameforthesound.wav");
* \endcode
*
* Or using a sound source pointer:
*
* \code
* irrklang::ISoundSource* snd =
* engine->addSoundSourceFromMemory(pointerToMemory, memorySize, "nameforthesound.wav");
*
* // play sound now
* engine->play2D(snd);
* \endcode
*
* Note: It is also possible to overwrite the file access directly, don't use this Memory Playback
* feature for this. See @ref fileOverriding for details.
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
*
*
*
* \section effects Sound Effects
*
* irrKlang supports the effects Chorus, Compressor, Distortion, Echo, Flanger
* Gargle, 3DL2Reverb, ParamEq and WavesReverb, when using the sound driver
* irrklang::ESOD_DIRECT_SOUND_8, which selected by default when using Windows.<br/>
*
* Using the irrklang::ISound interface, you can optain the irrklang::ISoundEffectControl
* interface if the sound device supports sound effects and the last parameter ('enableSoundEffects')
* was set to true when calling play2D():
*
* \code
* irrklang::ISound* snd = engine->play2D("sound.wav", true, false, true, ESM_AUTO_DETECT, true);
*
* if (snd)
* {
* irrklang::ISoundEffectControl* fx = snd->getSoundEffectControl();
* if (fx)
* {
* // enable the echo sound effect for this sound
* fx->enableEchoSoundEffect();
* }
* }
*
* snd->drop();
* \endcode
*
* This enabled the echo sound effect for this sound. The method also supports a lot of
* parameters, and can be called multiple times to change those parameters over time if wished.
* There are a lot of other sound effects, see irrklang::ISoundEffectControl for details.
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
*
*
*
* \section fileOverriding Overriding File Access
*
* It is possible to let irrKlang use your own file access functions.
* This is useful if you want to read sounds from other sources than
* just files, for example from custom internet streams or
* an own encypted archive format. There is an example in the SDK in
* examples/04.OverrideFileAccess which shows this as well.<br/>
*
* The only thing to do for this is to implement your own irrklang::IFileFactory,
* and set it in irrKlang using irrklang::ISoundEngine::addFileFactory():
*
* \code
* // a class implementing the IFileFactory interface to override irrklang file access
* class CMyFileFactory : public irrklang::IFileFactory
* {
* public:
*
* // Opens a file for read access. Simply return 0 if file not found.
* virtual irrklang::IFileReader* createFileReader(const ik_c8* filename)
* {
* // return your own irrklang::IFileReader implementation here, for example like that:
* return new CMyReadFile(filename);
* }
* };
*
* // ...
*
* CMyFileFactory* myFactory = new CMyFileFactory();
* engine->addFileFactory(myFactory);
* myFactory->drop();
* \endcode
*
* For a full example implementation, just take a look into the SDK in examples/04.OverrideFileAccess.
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
*
*
*
* \section audioDecoders Adding Audio Decoders
*
* To add support for new file formats, it is possible to add new audio decoders
* to irrKlang.
* The only thing to do for this is to implement your own irrklang::IAudioStreamLoader,
* and irrklang::IAudioStream, and set it in irrKlang using
* irrklang::ISoundEngine::registerAudioStreamLoader():
*
* \code
* class NewAudioStreamLoader : public irrklang::IAudioStreamLoader
* {
* // ... returns NewAudioDecoder and the used file name suffices.
* };
*
* class NewAudioDecoder : public irrklang::IAudioStream
* {
* public:
* // ... decodes the new file format
* };
*
* // ...
*
* NewAudioDecoder* loader = new NewAudioDecoder();
* engine->registerAudioStreamLoader(loader);
* loader->drop();
* \endcode
*
* There is an example audio decoder and loader with full source in plugins/ikpMP3, which
* adds MP3 audio decoding capabilities to irrKlang.
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
*
*
*
* \section plugins Creating irrKlang Plugins
*
* irrKlang plugins are ikp*.dll (Windows), ikp*.so (Unix) or ikp*.dylib (MacOS)
* files which are loaded by irrKlang at startup when the
* irrklang::ESEO_LOAD_PLUGINS was set (which is default) or
* irrklang::ISoundEngine::loadPlugins() was called. <br/>
*
* The plugin only needs to contain the following function which will be called by irrKlang:
*
* \code
* #ifdef WIN32
* // Windows version
* __declspec(dllexport) void __stdcall irrKlangPluginInit(ISoundEngine* engine, const char* version)
* #else
* // Linux and Mac OS version
* void irrKlangPluginInit(ISoundEngine* engine, const char* version)
* #endif
* {
* // your implementation here
* }
* \endcode
*
* In there, it is for example possible to extend irrKlang with new audio decoders,
* see @ref audioDecoders for details. <br/>
*
* There is an example plugin with full source in plugins/ikpMP3, which
* adds MP3 audio decoding capabilities to irrKlang.
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
*
*
*
* \section staticLib Using irrKlang as static Lib
*
* If you don't want to use the irrKlang.DLL file and link irrKlang statically, you can do this
* by simply linking to the irrKlang.lib in the bin/win32-visualstudio_lib folder. This folder
* will only available in the pro versions of irrKlang, which you get when purchasing an irrKlang
* license.
*
* To use irrKlang in this way, just define IRRKLANG_STATIC before including irrklang.h, like this:
*
* \code
* #define IRRKLANG_STATIC
* #include <irrKlang.h>
* \endcode
*
* Of course, IRRKLANG_STATIC can also simply be defined in the project/compiler settings instead of
* in the source file.
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
*
*
*
* \section enumeratingDevices Enumerating sound devices
*
* irrKlang uses the default sound device when playing sound when started without parameters. But if you want
* irrKlang to playback sound on one specific sound device, you may want to enumerate the available
* sound devices on your system and select one of them. Use irrklang::createSoundDeviceList() for this.
* This example code shows how to print a list of all available sound devices on the current system and lets
* the user choose one of them:
*
* \code
* int main(int argc, const char** argv)
* {
* // enumerate devices
*
* irrklang::ISoundDeviceList* deviceList = createSoundDeviceList();
*
* // ask user for a sound device
*
* printf("Devices available:\n\n");
*
* for (int i=0; i<deviceList->getDeviceCount(); ++i)
* printf("%d: %s\n", i, deviceList->getDeviceDescription(i));
*
* printf("\nselect a device using the number (or press any key to use default):\n\n");
* int deviceNumber = getch() - '0';
*
* // create device with the selected driver
*
* const char* deviceID = deviceList->getDeviceID(deviceNumber);
*
* ISoundEngine* engine = createIrrKlangDevice(irrklang::ESOD_AUTO_DETECT,
* irrklang::ESEO_DEFAULT_OPTIONS,
* deviceID);
*
* deviceList->drop(); // delete device list
*
* // ... use engine now
* }
* \endcode
*
* In this way, it is also possible to play back sound using two devices at the same time: Simply
* create two irrKlang devices with each a different deviceID.<br/>
* Note: createSoundDeviceList() takes a driver type parameter (such as irrklang::ESOD_DIRECT_SOUND8), which you
* have to set to the same value as the first parameter you want to use with createIrrKlangDevice(), if it is
* other than irrklang::ESOD_AUTO_DETECT.
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
*
*
*
* \section recordingAudio Recording Audio
*
* irrKlang is able to record audio from sound capturing devices such as microphones (currently only
* supported in windows). Use the irrklang::IAudioRecorder interface to do this. The following example shows how
* to record some audio and play it back again using the engine:
*
* \code
* int main(int argc, const char** argv)
* {
* irrklang::ISoundEngine* engine = irrklang::createIrrKlangDevice();
* irrklang::IAudioRecorder* recorder = irrklang::createIrrKlangAudioRecorder(engine);
*
* if (!engine || !recorder)
* {
* printf("Could not create audio engine or audio recoder\n");
* return 1;
* }
*
* printf("\nPress any key to start recording audio...\n");
* getch();
*
* // record some audio
*
* recorder->startRecordingBufferedAudio();
*
* printf("\nRECORDING. Press any key to stop...\n");
* getch();
*
* recorder->stopRecordingAudio();
*
* printf("\nRecording done, recorded %dms of audio.\n",
* recorder->getAudioFormat().FrameCount * 1000 / recorder->getAudioFormat().SampleRate );
* printf("Press any key to play back recorded audio...\n");
* getch();
*
* // play the recorded audio
* recorder->addSoundSourceFromRecordedAudio("myRecordedVoice");
* engine->play2D("myRecordedVoice", true);
*
* // wait until user presses a key
* printf("\nPress any key to quit...");
* getch();
*
* recorder->drop();
* engine->drop(); // delete engine
*
* return 0;
* }
* \endcode
*
* In order to select a specific audio capturing device for recording, it is necessary to enumerate
* the available devices. Simply replace the first to lines of code of the example above with code
* like this to list all devices and select one:
*
* \code
* // enumerate recording devices and ask user to select one
*
* irrklang::ISoundDeviceList* deviceList = irrklang::createAudioRecorderDeviceList();
*
* printf("Devices available:\n\n");
*
* for (int i=0; i<deviceList->getDeviceCount(); ++i)
* printf("%d: %s\n", i, deviceList->getDeviceDescription(i));
*
* printf("\nselect a device using the number (or press any key to use default):\n\n");
* int deviceNumber = getch() - '0';
*
* // create recording device with the selected driver
*
* const char* deviceID = deviceList->getDeviceID(deviceNumber);
* irrklang::ISoundEngine* engine = irrklang::createIrrKlangDevice();
* irrklang::IAudioRecorder* recorder =
* irrklang::createIrrKlangAudioRecorder(engine, irrklang::ESOD_AUTO_DETECT, deviceID);
*
* \endcode
*
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>

*
* \section unicode Unicode support
*
* irrKlang supports unicode on all operating systems. Internally, it uses UTF8, and all functions accepting strings
* and file names take UTF8 strings. If you are running irrKlang on Windows, and are using the UNICODE define or using
* wchar_t* strings directly, you can do this as well. Use the irrKlang provided function makeUTF8fromUTF16string() to
* convert your wchar_t* string to a char* string.
*
* This example shows how:
*
* \code
* const wchar_t* yourFilename = L"SomeUnicodeFilename.wav"; // assuming this is the file name you get from some of your functions
*
* const int nBufferSize = 2048; // large enough, but best would be wcslen(yourFilename)*3.
* char strBuffer[nBufferSize];
* irrklang::makeUTF8fromUTF16string(yourFilename, strBuffer, nBufferSize);
*
* // now the converted file name is in strBuffer. We can play it for example now:
* engine->play2D(strBuffer);
* \endcode
*
* Of course, you can use any other unicode converion function for this. makeUTF8fromUTF16string() is only provided
* for convenience.
* <br/>

* \section quickstartexample Quick Start Example
*
* To simply start the engine and play a mp3 file, use code like this:
*
* \code
* #include <iostream>
* #include <irrKlang.h>
* #pragma comment(lib, "irrKlang.lib") // link with irrKlang.dll
*
* int main(int argc, const char** argv)
* {
* irrklang::ISoundEngine* engine = irrklang::createIrrKlangDevice();
* if (!engine) return 1; // could not start engine
*
* engine->play2D("someMusic.mp3", true); // play some mp3 file, looped
*
* std::cin.get(); // wait until user presses a key
*
* engine->drop(); // delete engine
* return 0;
* }
* \endcode
*
* A mp3 file is being played until the user presses enter in this example.
* As you can see, irrKlang uses <A HREF="namespaces.html">namespaces</A>, all of
* the classes are located in the namespace irrklang. If you don't want to write
* this in front of every class and function you are using, simply write
*
* \code
* using namespace irrklang;
* \endcode
* in front of your code, as also shown in the next example.
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
* <br/>
*
*
*
* \section quickstartexample2 Quick Start Example 2
*
* The following is a simple interactive application, starting up the sound engine and
* playing some streaming .ogg music file and a .wav sound effect every time the user
* presses a key.
*
* \code
* #include <iostream>
* #include <irrKlang.h>
* using namespace irrklang;
*
* #pragma comment(lib, "irrKlang.lib") // link with irrKlang.dll
*
*
* int main(int argc, const char** argv)
* {
* // start the sound engine with default parameters
* ISoundEngine* engine = createIrrKlangDevice();
*
* if (!engine)
* return 0; // error starting up the engine
*
* // play some sound stream, looped
* engine->play2D("../../media/helltroopers.ogg", true);
*
* std::cout << "\nHello World!\n";
*
* char i = 0;
*
* while(i != 'q')
* {
* std::cout << "Press any key to play some sound, press 'q' to quit.\n";
*
* // play a single sound
* engine->play2D("../../media/bell.wav");
*
* std::cin >> i; // wait for user to press some key
* }
*
* engine->drop(); // delete engine
* return 0;
* }
*
* \endcode
