BSound may be retired

Judging from questions I've received, I feel it is worth reiterating: BSoundPlayer is NOT being retired, but the helper class BSound IS being retired. Any bugs filed against BSound will go unfixed. The header may disappear at any moment. There may be secret code in the media server that deletes the header file Sound.h from your hard disk at some random date in the future. If you can't just use a BSoundPlayer directly (either by overriding PlayBuffer() or by using the hooks) then I suggest you look into BGameSound and its most-derived classes BSimpleGameSound, BFileGameSound and BPushGameSound. Indeed, while most of the high-end Media Kit is gone in our separate "Stinger" product for Internet appliances, BSoundPlayer and BGameSound are still part of that product. BSound is not.
