Description:

interface to the windows wave sound API

Class protocol:

 isSupported

SoundStream::Win32WaveSound isSupported

Instance protocol:

 flush

wait until all sound has been played

 closeFile

a stream has been collected - close the file

 openWithMode: aMode attributes: attributeSpec

normally not reached

 supportedAudioFormats

return a collection of supported audio formats.
possibly returned symbols are:
U8 unsigned 8bit samples
S8 signed 8bit samples
U16 unsigned 16bit samples in native format
U16_LE unsigned 16bit big endian samples
U16_BE unsigned 16bit big endian samples
S16 signed 16bit little endian samples in native format
S16_LE signed 16bit little endian samples
S16_BE signed 16bit big endian samples
S24 signed 24bit little endian samples in native format
S24_LE signed 24bit little endian samples
S24_BE signed 24bit big endian samples
S32 signed 32bit little endian samples in native format
S32_LE signed 32bit little endian samples
S32_BE signed 32bit big endian samples
F16 float samples
F32 float samples
MPEG audio mpeg encoded
MU_LAW u-law encoded 8bit samples
A_LAW a-law encoded 8bit samples
IMA_ADPCM adpcm encoded
the set of returned symbols depends on the underlying sound hardware.

Usage example(s):

|s formats| s := self writing. formats := s supportedAudioFormats. s close. formats

 nextBytes: count into: anObject startingAt: start

read the next count bytes into an object and return the number of
bytes read or nil on error.
Use with ByteArrays only.

 nextPutBytes: count from: anObject startingAt: start

write count bytes from an object starting at index start.
return the number of bytes written or nil on error.
