SOLVED - QSound vs Phonon - (QSoundEffect win)

[maximus]

Hi,

I'm currently using QSound::play() to play various .wav sounds.
I am considering switching to Phonon::AudioOutput to get more utilities.

For example, some users would like to be able to modify the volume at which the sounds are played, I haven't found a function for that with QSound.

I think this would be possible with Phonon.
But first, some question for you guys that used it:
-Is it easy to integrate Phonon? (i.e : just include and use it?)
-Is it really cross-platform? My app need to run on Windows and Mac without too much extra code and compile shenanigan :)
-Will AudioOutput::setVolume ( qreal newVolume ) set the volume for the whole OS or just the sounds played with Phonon?

Thank you!

Nevermind, just read this for Qt 5.3 :
_
Phonon framework is no longer part of Qt, but it continues to be maintained by the Phonon developers and has support for Qt 5. See _

I'm using 5.2.1, so i'll stick to QSound, maybe I can find a way to control volume.
Checking the new class "QAudioOutput" at the moment..

Just found out about another class that does this :
QSoundEffect
This one seems to be the one I'm looking for.

Sometime Qt has too much stuff that does the same thing lol!

The use cases are not completely the same ;)
