Adding audio clips
The simplest form of media is an AudioClip, which works best for short sounds such as a button click. Note that AudioClip is not dedicated to longer audio or music sequences for the following reasons:
- It holds the whole clip in memory.
- It doesn't provide any API for choosing the playback time.
The AudioClip API is very simple; it doesn't require any extra objects and is recommended for short sound effects. For longer audio clips, use the Media class described in the next section.
The following formats are supported by the AudioClip class:
- MP3
- AIFF containing uncompressed PCM
- WAV containing uncompressed PCM
- MPEG-4 multimedia container with Advanced Audio Coding (AAC)...
