QuickTime 3 Reference
The Standard Sound Component allows your applications to present the user with a dialog for configuring their sound settings and to get the settings that the user provides. The Standard Sound Component API is based on the Standard Compression Component API, which offers similar programmatic controls for image compression settings. An example of the dialog provided by the Standard Sound Component is shown in Figure 23-1 .

The Standard Sound Component implements calls that are appropriate for sound processing. Because the Standard Sound Component is based on the Standard Compression Component, many calls were originally developed for image-related settings. The names of some calls may therefore seem counterintuitive when used in the context of sound compression.
The Standard Sound Component is currently used for the configuration dialogs in the Sound and Music Movie Exporter Components.
