This API has been deprecated. Use

instead.

This module provides wrapper functions for playing sound samples. Currently it
just wraps the esound daemon, but the API is flexible enough that other sound
infrastructures can be included in the future.

These functions also allow for the fact that no sound may be supported on the
current platform. So applications can safely call these functions to play
sounds and they will just quietly return if no action is possible.
