It is left unspecified what the valid values for "format" parameter to the function "loadPCMFromByteArray" are.

Good question. Let me ask around.

Thanks for the catch!

What's the lifespan of "Sound"? I just see load function, but I don't see something function like "dispose". I wonder the memory cost of this object.

[Guest]

If you get at the underlying Sound byte[], you can call clear() on it thereby freeing up any memory associated.

The documentation does not enumerate the valid formats to use with Sound.loadPCMFromByteArray(). Does anybody know what they are beside the default "float" ?

I have a sound upon which I used Sound.loadPCMFromByteArray(). This sound reports a length of 0 even though it says it has loaded 88200 bytes of data through its bytesLoaded and bytesTotal properties. Is this normal ?
