    \class QAudioOutput
    \brief The QAudioOutput class provides an interface for sending audio data to an audio output device.

    \inmodule QtMultimedia
    \ingroup multimedia
    \ingroup multimedia_audio

    You can construct an audio output with the system's
    \l{QAudioDeviceInfo::defaultOutputDevice()}{default audio output
    device}. It is also possible to create QAudioOutput with a
    specific QAudioDeviceInfo. When you create the audio output, you
    should also send in the QAudioFormat to be used for the playback
    (see the QAudioFormat class description for details).

    To play a file:

    Starting to play an audio stream is simply a matter of calling
    start() with a QIODevice. QAudioOutput will then fetch the data it
    needs from the io device. So playing back an audio file is as
    simple as:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/multimedia-snippets/audio.cpp Audio output class members

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/multimedia-snippets/audio.cpp Audio output setup

    The file will start playing assuming that the audio system and
    output device support it. If you run out of luck, check what's
    up with the error() function.

    After the file has finished playing, we need to stop the device:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/multimedia-snippets/audio.cpp Audio output state changed

    At any given time, the QAudioOutput will be in one of four states:
    active, suspended, stopped, or idle. These states are described
    by the QAudio::State enum.
    State changes are reported through the stateChanged() signal. You
    can use this signal to, for instance, update the GUI of the
    application; the mundane example here being changing the state of
    a \c { play/pause } button. You request a state change directly
    with suspend(), stop(), reset(), resume(), and start().

    While the stream is playing, you can set a notify interval in
    milliseconds with setNotifyInterval(). This interval specifies the
    time between two emissions of the notify() signal. This is
    relative to the position in the stream, i.e., if the QAudioOutput
    is in the SuspendedState or the IdleState, the notify() signal is
    not emitted. A typical use-case would be to update a
    \l{QSlider}{slider} that allows seeking in the stream.
    If you want the time since playback started regardless of which
    states the audio output has been in, elapsedUSecs() is the function for you.

    If an error occurs, you can fetch the \l{QAudio::Error}{error
    type} with the error() function. Please see the QAudio::Error enum
    for a description of the possible errors that are reported.  When
    an error is encountered, the state changes to QAudio::StoppedState.
    You can check for errors by connecting to the stateChanged()
    signal:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/multimedia-snippets/audio.cpp Audio output state changed
