Sound Channels
A sound channel is a queue of sound commands that is managed by the Sound Manager. The commands placed into the channel might originate from an application or from the Sound Manager itself (in response to in structions from a playback synthesizer). The commands in the queue are passed one by
one, in a first-in, first-out (FIFO) manner, to the playback synthesizer.
channel.
Most applications do not need to worry about creating or disposing of sound
channels because the high-level Sound Manager routines take care of these automatically. If you are using low-level Sound Manager routines, you can create your own sound channels (with the SndNewChannel function).
