SYNOPSIS

	   use SDLx::Sound;

	   my $snd = SDLx::Sound->new();

	   # loads and plays a single sound now
	   $snd->play('myfile.wav');

	   # load a single file
	   $snd->load('theSound.aif');

	   # plays it or all loaded files
	   $snd->play();

	   # more sounds
	   my %files = (
	       channel_01 => "/my_sound1.wav",
	       channel_02 => "/my_sound2.ogg"
	   );

	   # times sounds bangs
	   my %times = (
	       channel_01 => 0,      # start
	       channel_01 => 1256,   # milliseconds
	       channel_02 => 2345
	   );

	   # Load files in channels for realtime play
	   $snd->load(%files);

	   # sets sound channel_01 loudness
	   $snd->loud('channel_01', 80);       # loud at 80%
	   $snd->play(%times);		       # play loaded files at times
	   $snd->play;			       # play again

	   # plays sound channel_01 at 578 milliseconds from now
	   $snd->play('channel_01', 578);

	   # fades sound
	   $snd->fade('channel_02', 2345, 3456, -20);

	   # in a single act do the whole Sound
	   my $snd = SDLx::Sound->new(
	       files => (
		   channel_01 => "/my_sound1.wav",
		   channel_02 => "/my_sound2.ogg"

	       ),
	       loud  => (
		   channel_01 => 80,
		   channel_02 => 75
	       ),
	       times => (
		   channel_01 => 0,	 # start
		   channel_01 => 1256,	 # milliseconds
		   channel_02 => 2345
	       ),
	       fade  => (
		   channel_02 => [2345, 3456, -20]
	       )
	   )->play();

DESCRIPTION

       You can think about the SDLx::Sound at 2 approaches.

       o   A simple sound or

       o   The sound of your game or app.

       Your application will say what the best approach.

       In a taste that resembles to perl and to SDL, our SDLx:Sound hooks at SDL::Audio and SDL::Mixer with a graceful and simple interface that
       can offer to monks a modern perlish way to manage sounds.

       An SDLx::Sound object can load sounds from filesystem, play it, adjust this loudness level or stops the sound.

       Each sound will play in the next available channel, so it can be handled isolately.
