Overview ¶

Note

This section will cover the use of audio in general and the APIs available. It will also cover the sound devices (speaker, headphones, microphone, modem) and specific APIs used to interact with them.

Playing Sounds ¶

Applications written using Python and GTK can play sounds using the GSound API that is used for playing sounds when system events occur. The Play Sounds example uses this API to play both standard event sounds and sound files provided with the application.
