Class AudioEngine3D

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.sun.j3d.audioengines.AudioEngine
      extended by com.sun.j3d.audioengines.AudioEngine3D
All Implemented Interfaces:
AudioDevice, AudioDevice3D
Direct Known Subclasses:
AudioEngine3DL2

public abstract class AudioEngine3D
extends AudioEngine
implements AudioDevice3D

The AudioEngine3D Class defines an audio output device that generates sound 'image' from high-level sound parameters passed to it during scene graph.

The methods in this class are meant to be optionally overridden by an extended class. This extended class would provice device specific code.

Error checking on all parameters passed to these methods is already explicitly being done by the Java 3D core code that calls these methods.

NOTE: AudioEngine developers should not subclass this class directly. Subclass AudioEngine3DL2 instead.
