Audio Output
=====

Load an audio sound and play it with::

    from kivy.core.audio_output import SoundLoader

    sound = SoundLoader.load('mytest.wav')
    if sound:
        print("Sound found at %s" % sound.source)
        print("Sound is %.3f seconds" % sound.length)
        sound.play()

You should not use the Sound class directly. The class returned by
:func:`SoundLoader.load` will be the best sound provider for that particular
file type, so it might return different Sound classes depending the file type.
