"winsound" --- Sound-playing interface for Windows
**************************************************

======================================================================

O módulo "winsound" fornece acesso ao mecanismo básico de reprodução
de som fornecido pelas plataformas Windows. Inclui funções e várias
constantes.

winsound.Beep(frequency, duration)

   Emite um bipe no alto-falante do PC. O parâmetro *frequency*
   especifica a frequência, em hertz, do som e deve estar no intervalo
   de 37 a 32.767. O parâmetro *duration* especifica o número de
   milissegundos que o som deve durar. Se o sistema não conseguir
   emitir um bipe no alto-falante, "RuntimeError" é levantado.

winsound.PlaySound(sound, flags)

   Call the underlying "PlaySound()" function from the Platform API.
   The *sound* parameter may be a filename, a system sound alias,
   audio data as a *bytes-like object*, or "None".  Its interpretation
   depends on the value of *flags*, which can be a bitwise ORed
   combination of the constants described below. If the *sound*
   parameter is "None", any currently playing waveform sound is
   stopped. If the system indicates an error, "RuntimeError" is
   raised.

winsound.MessageBeep(type=MB_OK)

   Call the underlying "MessageBeep()" function from the Platform API.
   This plays a sound as specified in the registry.  The *type*
   argument specifies which sound to play; possible values are "-1",
   "MB_ICONASTERISK", "MB_ICONEXCLAMATION", "MB_ICONHAND",
   "MB_ICONQUESTION", and "MB_OK", all described below.  The value
   "-1" produces a "simple beep"; this is the final fallback if a
   sound cannot be played otherwise.  If the system indicates an
   error, "RuntimeError" is raised.

winsound.SND_FILENAME

   The *sound* parameter is the name of a WAV file. Do not use with
   "SND_ALIAS".

winsound.SND_ALIAS

   The *sound* parameter is a sound association name from the
   registry.  If the registry contains no such name, play the system
   default sound unless "SND_NODEFAULT" is also specified. If no
   default sound is registered, raise "RuntimeError". Do not use with
   "SND_FILENAME".

   All Win32 systems support at least the following; most systems
   support many more:

   +----------------------------+------------------------------------------+
   | "PlaySound()" *name*       | Corresponding Control Panel Sound name   |
   |============================|==========================================|
   | "'SystemAsterisk'"         | Asterisk                                 |
   +----------------------------+------------------------------------------+
   | "'SystemExclamation'"      | Exclamation                              |
   +----------------------------+------------------------------------------+
   | "'SystemExit'"             | Exit Windows                             |
   +----------------------------+------------------------------------------+
   | "'SystemHand'"             | Critical Stop                            |
   +----------------------------+------------------------------------------+
   | "'SystemQuestion'"         | Question                                 |
   +----------------------------+------------------------------------------+

   Por exemplo:

      import winsound
      # Play Windows exit sound.
      winsound.PlaySound("SystemExit", winsound.SND_ALIAS)

      # Probably play Windows default sound, if any is registered (because
      # "*" probably isn't the registered name of any sound).
      winsound.PlaySound("*", winsound.SND_ALIAS)

winsound.SND_LOOP

   Play the sound repeatedly.  The "SND_ASYNC" flag must also be used
   to avoid blocking.  Cannot be used with "SND_MEMORY".

winsound.SND_MEMORY

   The *sound* parameter to "PlaySound()" is a memory image of a WAV
   file, as a *bytes-like object*.

   Nota:

     This module does not support playing from a memory image
     asynchronously, so a combination of this flag and "SND_ASYNC"
     will raise "RuntimeError".

winsound.SND_PURGE

   Stop playing all instances of the specified sound.

   Nota:

     This flag is not supported on modern Windows platforms.

winsound.SND_ASYNC

   Return immediately, allowing sounds to play asynchronously.

winsound.SND_NODEFAULT

   If the specified sound cannot be found, do not play the system
   default sound.

winsound.SND_NOSTOP

   Do not interrupt sounds currently playing.

winsound.SND_NOWAIT

   Return immediately if the sound driver is busy.

   Nota:

     This flag is not supported on modern Windows platforms.

winsound.MB_ICONASTERISK

   Play the "SystemDefault" sound.

winsound.MB_ICONEXCLAMATION

   Play the "SystemExclamation" sound.

winsound.MB_ICONHAND

   Play the "SystemHand" sound.

winsound.MB_ICONQUESTION

   Play the "SystemQuestion" sound.

winsound.MB_OK

   Play the "SystemDefault" sound.
