# SoundEffectManager

Is just that. It's a simple sound effect manager for playing sounds using the awesome HTML 5 Web Audio API.

If you think I'm talking about `` tags, go read this: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webaudio/intro/

It's significantly better than `` tags for several reasons:

- You don't have to create a tag for each sound you want to play

- You can multiplex an effect without having to create duplicate tags

- You can also control volume and add other effects

Part of the [Ampersand.js toolkit](http://ampersandjs.com) for building clientside applications.

## Installing

`npm install sound-effect-manager`

## Using it

```js

// just init the sound effect manager

var SoundEffectManager = require('sound-effect-manager');

var sm = new SoundEffectManager();

// load some files by passing it a url and a name

sm.loadFile('taps.mp3', 'taps');

sm.loadFile('rocket.wav', 'rocket');

// then play the sounds like so:

sm.play('rocket');

// or play a sound in looping mode:

sm.play('taps', true);

// and to stop a loop:

sm.stop('taps');

// that's it!

```
