/// \class sf::SoundFileWriter
/// \ingroup audio
///
/// This class allows users to write audio file formats not natively
/// supported by SFML, and thus extend the set of supported writable
/// audio formats.
///
/// A valid sound file writer must override the open and write functions,
/// as well as providing a static check function; the latter is used by
/// SFML to find a suitable writer for a given filename.
///
/// To register a new writer, use the sf::SoundFileFactory::registerWriter
/// template function.
///
/// Usage example:
/// \code
/// class MySoundFileWriter : public sf::SoundFileWriter
/// {
/// public:
///
///     static bool check(const std::string& filename)
///     {
///         // typically, check the extension
///         // return true if the writer can handle the format
///     }
///
///     virtual bool open(const std::string& filename, unsigned int sampleRate, unsigned int channelCount)
///     {
///         // open the file 'filename' for writing,
///         // write the given sample rate and channel count to the file header
///         // return true on success
///     }
///
///     virtual void write(const sf::Int16* samples, sf::Uint64 count)
///     {
///         // write 'count' samples stored at address 'samples',
///         // convert them (for example to normalized float) if the format requires it
///     }
/// };
///
