  * public:
  *   DemoClient();
  *   KAudio   KAServer;

  *   // [...]
  * }
  *
  * // Program
  * // ************* Initialization ******************************
  * DemoClient *myClient = new DemoClient();
  * if (myClient->KAServer.serverStatus()) {
  *   cerr << "Failed contacting audio server\n";
  *   exit (1);
  * }
  *
  *
  * // ************* If you want to recieve Qt signals ***********
  * KAServer.setSignals(true);
  * QObject::connect(&KAServer, SIGNAL(playFinished()), this, SLOT(playOK()));
  *
  *
  * // ************* Playback ************************************
  * KAServer.play("/my/sounds/is/here.wav");
  *
  * See democlient.cpp in the kdebase sources for a full program
