AFPlayer(string server)

checks and opens connection to AF server if possible.

Throws:: Exception , if the connection is not possible.
Parameters:: server - name of the AF server

~AFPlayer()

Destructs the object.

void play(const AudioFile& audata, const int device, const float delay, const int gain, const long length)

plays the given audio file on audio-device specified by the given number from now in "delay" seconds and "gain" loudness for "length" buffer-entities.

Throws:: Exception , if memory allocation faild.
Parameters:: audata - audio file to play
device - audio-device to play on
delay - time to wait
gain - loudness
length - play time

void initializeAC(const AudioFile& audata, const int device, const int gain)

creates AF audio context for the given audio file.

Throws:: Exception , if the device can not play the file.
Parameters:: audata - audio file
device - audio-device to play on
gain - loudness
