Ways of playing sound

One of the ways to look at the different ways that sound can be used, is to examine sound through how the user can control it.

• User has no control

  Sound plays when the user does something or goes some where

  Sound loops while the user is looking at something

• User has some control

  The user can start and stop the sound. Also could randomly access any part of the sound.

• User has large degree of control

  The user can change different aspects of the sound such as speed, pitch, character...
