/**
 * The SoundLoaderContext class provides security checks for files that load
 * sound. SoundLoaderContext objects are passed as an argument to the
 * constructor and the `load()` method of the Sound class.
 *
 * When you use this class, consider the following security model: 
 *
 * 
 *  * Loading and playing a sound is not allowed if the calling file is in
 * a network sandbox and the sound file to be loaded is local.
 *  * By default, loading and playing a sound is not allowed if the calling
 * is local and tries to load and play a remote sound. A user must grant
 * explicit permission to allow this.
 *  * Certain operations dealing with sound are restricted. The data in a
 * loaded sound cannot be accessed by a file in a different domain unless you
 * implement a URL policy file. Sound-related APIs that fall under this
 * restriction are the `Sound.id3` property and the
 * `SoundMixer.computeSpectrum()`,
 * `SoundMixer.bufferTime`, and `SoundTransform()`
 * methods.
 * 
 *
 * However, in Adobe AIR, content in the `application` security
 * sandbox(content installed with the AIR application) are not restricted by
 * these security limitations.
 *
 * For more information related to security, see the Flash Player Developer
 * Center Topic: [Security](http://www.adobe.com/go/devnet_security_en).

	/**
	 * The number of milliseconds to preload a streaming sound into a buffer
	 * before the sound starts to stream.
	 *
	 * Note that you cannot override the value of
	 * `SoundLoaderContext.bufferTime` by setting the global
	 * `SoundMixer.bufferTime` property. The
	 * `SoundMixer.bufferTime` property affects the buffer time for
	 * embedded streaming sounds in a SWF file and is independent of dynamically
	 * created Sound objects(that is, Sound objects created in
	 * ActionScript).

	/**
	 * Specifies whether the application should try to download a URL policy file
	 * from the loaded sound's server before beginning to load the sound. This
	 * property applies to sound that is loaded from outside the calling file's
	 * own domain using the `Sound.load()` method.
	 *
	 * Set this property to `true` when you load a sound from
	 * outside the calling file's own domain and code in the calling file needs
	 * low-level access to the sound's data. Examples of low-level access to a
	 * sound's data include referencing the `Sound.id3` property to
	 * get an ID3Info object or calling the
	 * `SoundMixer.computeSpectrum()` method to get sound samples from
	 * the loaded sound. If you try to access sound data without setting the
	 * `checkPolicyFile` property to `true` at loading
	 * time, you may get a SecurityError exception because the required policy
	 * file has not been downloaded.
	 *
	 * If you don't need low-level access to the sound data that you are
	 * loading, avoid setting `checkPolicyFile` to `true`.
	 * Checking for a policy file consumes network bandwidth and might delay the
	 * start of your download, so it should only be done when necessary.
	 *
	 * When you call `Sound.load()` with
	 * `SoundLoaderContext.checkPolicyFile` set to `true`,
	 * Flash Player or AIR must either successfully download a relevant URL
	 * policy file or determine that no such policy file exists before it begins
	 * downloading the specified sound. Flash Player or AIR performs the
	 * following actions, in this order, to verify the existence of a policy
	 * file:
	 *
	 * 
	 *  * Flash Player or AIR considers policy files that have already been
	 * downloaded.
	 *  * Flash Player or AIR tries to download any pending policy files
	 * specified in calls to `Security.loadPolicyFile()`.
	 *  * Flash Player or AIR tries to download a policy file from the default
	 * location that corresponds to the sound's URL, which is
	 * `/crossdomain.xml` on the same server as
	 * `URLRequest.url`.(The sound's URL is specified in the
	 * `url` property of the URLRequest object passed to
	 * `Sound.load()` or the Sound() constructor function.)
	 * 
	 *
	 * In all cases, Flash Player or AIR requires that an appropriate policy
	 * file exist on the sound's server, that it provide access to the sound file
	 * at `URLRequest.url` by virtue of the policy file's location,
	 * and that it allow the domain of the calling file to access the sound,
	 * through one or more `<allow-access-from>` tags. 
	 *
	 * If you set `checkPolicyFile` to `true`, Flash
	 * Player or AIR waits until the policy file is verified before loading the
	 * sound. You should wait to perform any low-level operations on the sound
	 * data, such as calling `Sound.id3` or
	 * `SoundMixer.computeSpectrum()`, until `progress` and
	 * `complete` events are dispatched from the Sound object. 
	 *
	 * If you set `checkPolicyFile` to `true` but no
	 * appropriate policy file is found, you will not receive an error until you
	 * perform an operation that requires a policy file, and then Flash Player or
	 * AIR throws a `SecurityError` exception. After you receive a
	 * `complete` event, you can test whether a relevant policy file
	 * was found by getting the value of `Sound.id3` within a
	 * `try` block and seeing if a `SecurityError` is
	 * thrown.
	 *
	 * Be careful with `checkPolicyFile` if you are downloading
	 * sound from a URL that uses server-side HTTP redirects. Flash Player or AIR
	 * tries to retrieve policy files that correspond to the `url`
	 * property of the URLRequest object passed to `Sound.load()`. If
	 * the final sound file comes from a different URL because of HTTP redirects,
	 * then the initially downloaded policy files might not be applicable to the
	 * sound's final URL, which is the URL that matters in security
	 * decisions.
	 *
	 * If you find yourself in this situation, here is one possible solution.
	 * After you receive a `progress` or `complete` event,
	 * you can examine the value of the `Sound.url` property, which
	 * contains the sound's final URL. Then call the
	 * `Security.loadPolicyFile()` method with a policy file URL that
	 * you calculate based on the sound's final URL. Finally, poll the value of
	 * `Sound.id3` until no exception is thrown.
	 *
	 * This does not apply to content in the AIR application sandbox. Content
	 * in the application sandbox always has programatic access to sound content,
	 * regardless of its origin.
	 *

	 * Developer Center Topic: [Security](http://www.adobe.com/go/devnet_security_en).
