Sound::LoadSound

Loads a sound resource into a Sound object.

SoundResult LoadSound(const char *name);

name	The name of the sound resource.

The LoadSound function loads the sound resource specified by the name parameter into memory.

A sound resource loaded into memory with the LoadSound function must contain fewer than 2²¹ frames of audio data. For a mono sound, this means that the audio data must be smaller than 4 MB in size, and for a stereo sound, the audio data must be smaller than 8 MB in size. If this limit is exceeded, then the LoadSound function returns kSoundTooLarge.

A sound is made nonpersistent when the LoadSound function is called, meaning that it will destroy itself once it has finished playing.
