Correct useage of phonon?

[Michael Thaler <michael.thaler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am trying to port a game to KDE. Currently the game uses SDL_Mixer to play 
sounds. I want to replace it by phonon, but I am not sure about the correct 
way to use phonon. As far as I understand, to play a sound, I have to do the 
following:

namespace Phonon {
    class MediaObject;
}

class AudioPlayer
private:
    Phonon::MediaObject* m_media;
 public:
	AudioPlayer();
};

AudioPlayer::AudioPlayer() : m_media(0)
{
	m_media = Phonon::createPlayer(Phonon::GameCategory);
	m_media->setCurrentSource("mySound.wav");
        m_media->play();
}

The game has about 15 sounds in .wav format and one sound in .mp3 format.
One possibility to play the sounds would be a method:

AudioPlayer::play(QString& filename)
{
	m_media->setCurrentSource(filename);
        m_media->play();
}

But I think this is not a good idea because the sounds have to be loaded from 
disk when the sound is played. Alternatively I could create a MediaObject for 
each sound. Is this the intended way or is there another way to preload the 
sounds when the application is started? 

Thanks in advance,
Michael
