Handles common playback behaviors, including random and sequential play, which are created and defined in the authoring application by the sound designer.

Handles fades and cross fades out-of-the-box that are created and fine-tuned in the authoring application by the sound designer.

Manages the priority of sound and motion objects using playback limits, specific priority settings, and virtual voices all set by the sound designer in the authoring application.

Supports an unlimited number of environments out-of-the-box through a simple API. In addition, because the sound engine creates and destroys the environmental routing dynamically, it ensures a consistent experience on all platforms and reduces the memory footprint and CPU workload.

Supports the naturally occurring conditions of obstruction and occlusion when the source is partially or completely blocked by elements within a game.

Supports an unlimited number of different listeners in the game.

Contains debugging instrumentation code that is exposed visually in real time in the authoring application. As a result, the sound designer can analyze the profiling output and take proper action in real time while the game is running.
