<p>While the <code>audio-play</code> procedure provides a quick and convenient
way to play audio, it has some limitations.  What if the audio is a
long piece of music that might need to be paused or stopped later?
What if the audio should be looped?  What if the volume or pitch needs
to be altered?  For manipulating audio in these ways, a &ldquo;source&rdquo; is
required.  Sources can be thought of like a boombox: They sit
somewhere in the room and play sound.  The pause or stop buttons can
be pressed; it can be moved somewhere else; the volume knob can be
adjusted; the CD can be changed.
</p>
<p>Sources are a great fit for handling background music, among other
things.  For quick, one-off sound effects, <code>audio-play</code> is a
better fit.
