Writing a Sound Component

A sound component is a component that works with the Sound Manager to manipulate audio data or to communicate with a sound output device. Because a sound component is a component, it must be able to respond to standard selectors sent by the Component Manager. In addition, a sound component must handle other selectors specific to sound components. This section describes how to write a sound component.
