+/**
+ * This class provides one-shot-and-forget audio playing. You will never
+ * know if what you wanted to play really got played.
+ *
+ * It doesn't require linking any special libraries, as it operates over
+ * DCOP. In the current implementation, it only indirectly communicates
+ * with the aRts soundserver, using knotify as DCOP -> MCOP bridge.
+ *
+ * Due to that fact, if you need "fast" response times, more control or
+ * feedback, use the MCOP interfaces rather than this.
+ *
+ * An example of using this class is:
+ *
+ * \code
+ * KAudioPlayer::play("/var/share/foo.wav");
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * If you want to use signals & slots, you can do something like:
+ *
+ * \code
+ * KAudioPlayer player("/var/share/foo.wav");
+ * connect(&button, TQT_SIGNAL(clicked()), &player, TQT_SLOT(play()));
+ * \endcode
+ *
