This class is a simple interface for playing AIFF, WAV, and NeXT sound files. An instance of this class is initialized from a file using the method initWithContentsOfFile:byReference:. The byReference: argument relates to how the sound object should be archived. If this argument is YES, only the name of the sound file will be archived; otherwise, the object data will be archived. There are four methods for controlling playback of the sound: play, pause, resume, and stop. Instances of NSSound may take a delegate object, which will be notified when the sound has finished playing.
