Detailed Description

This class manages a queue of items to play as WAV files or as text to speak using a speech synthesizer.

The actual playback of sound and speech is done through callbacks (which you can supply in the constructor or afterwards). Some callbacks you can use are provided by classes like ArSoundPlayer (for sound file playback) and ArFestival (from the ArSpeechSynth_Festival library) and ArCepstral (from the ArSpeechSynth_Cepstral librrary) for speech synthesis.

Add sound files to the queue with play(), and text to speak with speak(). Use runAsync() to run the processing thread in the background, or run() to run synchronously in the current thread.
