<H3><A NAME="s3">3. Onscreen Fundamentals</A></H3>

<P>
<P>KMedia usage is simple. Start the program and drag a WAV file into the
window. The file will be played immediately. If the file does not get played
your sound device might be busy.

<H3><A NAME="ss3.1">3.1 Buttons</A>
</H3>

<P>The meaning of all buttons should be well known. If you can operate a tape deck or
CD Player, you should have no problem in using KMedia. Only applicable buttons
are usable. For example, ejecting a CD makes sense, but not ejecting a WAV Media.

<H3><A NAME="ss3.2">3.2 Multiple media players</A>
</H3>

<P>You can open multiple KMedia windows. Either by using File->New view
or by starting another media player through kpanel.
<P>If you want KMedia to use a specific output device (e.g. soundcard)
you can set it in kmedia's configuration dialog. Attention: This is
currently unimplemented!!!
You can set  the device using numbers. 0 means the default
device, 1 the primary, 2 the secondary device and so on.
