    can be stored in memory and played. Currently this class is implemented
    on Windows and Unix (and uses either
    Open Sound System or
    Simple DirectMedia Layer).

        possible
        to delete the object which is being asynchronously played any time after
        calling this function and the sound would continue playing, however this
        currently doesn't work under Windows for sound objects loaded from memory data.
        The possible values for @a flags are:

        wxSOUND_SYNC

        @c Play will block and wait until the sound is
        replayed.

        wxSOUND_ASYNC

        Sound is played asynchronously,
        @c Play returns immediately

        wxSOUND_ASYNC | wxSOUND_LOOP

        Sound is played asynchronously
        and loops until another sound is played,
        Stop() is called or the program terminates.

        The static form is shorthand for this code:

        If a sound is played, this function stops it.
