function SoundRecordingtest(duration)
% Basic test and demo of the sound recording/capture functionality of the
% new PsychSound() function.
%
% Parameters: duration = Recordingcapacity (in seconds) of the sound capture
% buffer. After recording of sound has been started, PsychSound will
% perform continuous recording into an internal ring-buffer with a storage capacity
% of 'duration' seconds, until recording gets stopped again. Soundrecording
% is done asynchronously as an automatic background process, independent of
% Matlabs/Psychtoolboxs execution. This way you can continue execution of
% your Matlab script (sound output, response collection, visual output,
% ...) while PsychSound is recording in the background. You can query the
% amount of new recorded sound data in the buffer and you can fetch this
% data from the buffer into a Matlab matrix at any time during of after
% recording. Be aware though that if the buffers capacity is exhausted, it
% will dispose old sound data to store new one - only the last 'duration'
% seconds of the most recently recorded sound are kept.
%
% This leaves you with two options:
%
% a) Request a buffer big enough to store the full duration of your
% recording from Start of capture until the end, and read out the recorded
% data into a Matlab matrix after the end of the recording. This is the
% most easy to implement (nice linear control flow Start->Stop->Fetch), but
% you have to know the maximum duration in advance, and you'll potentially
% use up significant amounts of memory.
%
% b) Request a buffer big enough to hold sound data for at least the
% duration of one iteration of your trial loop. During each iteration, poll
% and fetch portions of the recording into your Matlab matrix. More
% involved programming, but low memory consumption.
%
% With b) you can obviously also implement an audio recorder for infinite
% capture into a file via while(1) Waitabit; Poll&Fetch bit of sound data
% from PsychSound into Matrix; Append content of matrix to a file; end;
%
% And you can do live capture, manipulation & analysis of sound, e.g.,
% voice triggers, feedback of recorded sound to sound output and such.
