    /** Tells the source to prepare for playing.

        An AudioSource has two states: prepared and unprepared.

        The prepareToPlay() method is guaranteed to be called at least once on an 'unpreprared'
        source to put it into a 'prepared' state before any calls will be made to getNextAudioBlock().
        This callback allows the source to initialise any resources it might need when playing.

        Once playback has finished, the releaseResources() method is called to put the stream
        back into an 'unprepared' state.

        Note that this method could be called more than once in succession without
        a matching call to releaseResources(), so make sure your code is robust and
        can handle that kind of situation.

        @param samplesPerBlockExpected  the number of samples that the source
                                        will be expected to supply each time its
                                        getNextAudioBlock() method is called. This
                                        number may vary slightly, because it will be dependent
                                        on audio hardware callbacks, and these aren't
                                        guaranteed to always use a constant block size, so
                                        the source should be able to cope with small variations.
        @param sampleRate               the sample rate that the output will be used at - this
                                        is needed by sources such as tone generators.

        This will be called when the source is no longer going to have its getNextAudioBlock()
        method called, so it should release any spare memory, etc. that it might have
        allocated during the prepareToPlay() call.

        Note that there's no guarantee that prepareToPlay() will actually have been called before
        releaseResources(), and it may be called more than once in succession, so make sure your
        code is robust and doesn't make any assumptions about when it will be called.

        After calling the prepareToPlay() method, this callback will be made each

        data is going to) needs another block of data.

        It will generally be called on a high-priority system thread, or possibly even
        an interrupt, so be careful not to do too much work here, as that will cause
        audio glitches!
