NSSound on the iphone

I've been looking for a while how to play sound on the iphone, and I think it's something along the lines of:

[[NSSound soundNamed:@"cat.mp3"] play];

But the NSSound is on the AppKit ... any suggestions ? I know there is a really simple answer to this, but today my searches are not rendering any result ...

From stackoverflow

• Audio Toolbox system sounds are great for short async playback.

  // Initialize
  CFBundleRef mainBundle;
  mainBundle = CFBundleGetMainBundle ();
  
  // Init each sound
  CFURLRef      tapURL;
  SystemSoundID tapSound;
  tapURL = CFBundleCopyResourceURL(mainBundle, CFSTR("tap"), CFSTR("aif"), NULL);
  AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID(tapURL, &tapSound);
  
  // Play the sound async
  AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(tapSound);
  

  I haven't gotten MP3s to work with AudioServicesPlaySystemSound. But it plays AIF files perfectly.

• the new AVFoundation class is the easiest way to play sound on the iPhone, though it is for firmware 2.2 only:

  AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] error:NULL];  
  [audioPlayer play];
  

  you just need this import in the class that uses it:

  #import <AVFoundation/AVAudioPlayer.h>
  

  webclimber : Excellent, I'll try this one tonight

• ...any chance that this framework allows the app to control playback speed? something along the lines of speeding up the tempo on a song?

  Thanks!
