	play() or not, depending on isAudible and possibly other factors.

	prepareToPlay (self)
	Do any pre-play setup.

	play (self)
	Subclass must redefine play() to play a sound.

	stopPlaying (self, waitForEndOfPlayback)
	Subclass must redefine stopPlaying() to stop playing a sound.

	unMute (self)
	Shorthand to set isAudible=true.

	mute (self)
	Shorthand to set isAudible=false.
