public abstract class Sound
extends Leaf

Sound node is an abstract class that defines the properties common to all sound sources. A scene graph can contain multiple sounds. Associated with each sound source are: a reference to sound data, an amplitude scale factor, a release flag denoting that the sound associated with this node is to play to end when it is disabled, the number of times sound is to be repeated, the sound's state (on or off), a scheduling region, and a flag denoting if the sound is to continue playing "silently" even while it is inactive. Whenever the listener is within a sound node's scheduling bounds this sound is potentially audible.

The cloned Leaf node's method will be called and the Leaf node can then look up any object references by using the getNewObjectReference method found in the NodeReferenceTable object. If a match is found, a reference to the corresponding object in the newly cloned sub-graph is returned. If no corresponding reference is found, either a DanglingReferenceException is thrown or a reference to the original object is returned depending on the value of the allowDanglingReferences parameter passed in the cloneTree call.

NOTE: Applications should not call this method directly. It should only be called by the cloneTree method.
