Class AudioPlayer

java.lang.Object
  be.hogent.tarsos.dsp.AudioPlayer

All Implemented Interfaces:

AudioProcessor

public final class AudioPlayer
extends java.lang.Object
implements AudioProcessor

This AudioProcessor can be used to sync events with sound. It uses a pattern described in JavaFX Special Effects Taking Java RIA to the Extreme with Animation, Multimedia, and Game Element Chapter 9 page 185:

The variable line is the Java Sound object that actually makes the sound. The write method on line is interesting because it blocks until it is ready for more data.

If this AudioProcessor chained with other AudioProcessors the others should be able to operate in real time or process the signal on a separate thread.
