<h1>PyKDE4.phonon Module</h1>
<hr><p><h2>The Phonon Library API Reference </h2>
</p>
<p>
<p><b>
Overview |
development
</b></p>
</p>
<p>
<a href="http://phonon.kde.org/">Phonon</a> provides a Qt-style interface for audio
and video. It is aimed at the average desktop application, whether that is a game
that needs sound effects or a full-blown multimedia playback application like
<a href="http://amarok.kde.org/">Amarok</a> or
<a href="http://www.dragonplayer.org/">Dragon Player</a>.
</p>
<p>
If you writing a Qt program and want audio or video playback, then Phonon is almost
certainly the right choice for you. It provides an API that any Qt developer will
be comfortable with, and uses the native sound systems on Windows and MacOS. On
UNIX systems, where there is no one standard multimedia system, it offers
<a href="http://www.gstreamer.net/">GStreamer</a> and <a href="http://xinehq.de/">Xine</a>
backends, and more (such as <a href="http://www.videolan.org/">VLC</a>) are available
from third parties.
</p>
<p>
However, Phonon is not aimed at professional audio applications (in the style of
<a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/">Audacity</a>, say). For these applications,
you will probably want more control over the audio layer than Phonon will give you,
and you should probably be using something like <a href="http://jackaudio.org/">JACK</a>.
