QSound::isFinished() not working

[tom989]

I'm using Windows to play a sound using QSound. It plays fine but I need some method for the program to halt until the sound stops.

Naturally I tried using the isfinished function but it always returns true:

QSound aa ("dash300ms1.wav");
 
    aa.play();
    qDebug()<< aa.isFinished();

QSound aa ("dash300ms1.wav");

    aa.play();
    qDebug()<< aa.isFinished();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The sound lasts 10 seconds but the finished call returns true instantly. What is happening here?

Is there another way of doing what I want to achieve?

Read the docs Luke, read the docs...

Warning: On Windows this function always returns true for unlooped sounds.

Well, forgive me my impetuosity, but shouldn't it be fixed?

Be my guest, fix it
