wait

Wait for an event

wait waits until an event occurs or times out

wait(x, ...)
## Default S3 method:
wait(x, timeout, ...)
## S3 method for class 'audioInstance'
wait(x, timeout=NA, ...)

`x`	event to wait for
`timeout`	longest period to wait for (in seconds, real number). A value of 0 causes `wait` to just check for the event, values `NA` and less than zero mean to wait indefinitely until the even occurs.
`...`	optional arguments passed to the method specific to the object being monitored

The default method allows x to specify the timeout, i.e., if timeout is not specified and x is numeric then the timeout is set to x.

Returns the result.

# play a sound and wait until the playback is done
wait(play(sin(1:10000/20)))
# wait for 2.5 seconds unconditionally
wait(2.5)
