- * This class provides one-shot-and-forget audio playing. You will never
- * know if what you wanted to play really got played.
- *
- * It doesn't require linking any special libraries, as it operates over
- * DCOP. In the current implementation, it only indirectly communicates
- * with the aRts soundserver, using knotify as DCOP -> MCOP bridge.
- *
- * Due to that fact, if you need "fast" response times, more control or
- * feedback, use the MCOP interfaces rather than this.
- *
- * An example of using this class is:
- *
- * \code
- * KAudioPlayer::play("/var/share/foo.wav");
- * \endcode
- *
- * If you want to use signals & slots, you can do something like:
- *
- * \code
- * KAudioPlayer player("/var/share/foo.wav");
- * connect(&button, SIGNAL(clicked()), &player, SLOT(play()));
- * \endcode
