    \title Spectrum Example
    \ingroup multimedia_examples
    \brief The Spectrum Example uses a combination multimedia APIs to process microphone input.

    The Spectrum Analyzer example shows how the \l{Qt Multimedia} module can be
    used to record and then play back an audio stream.

    Because QtMultimedia allows the application to access the raw audio
    stream, the data can either be inspected or modified by the application.
    The Spectrum Analyzer example displays three pieces of information while
    audio is being either captured or played back:

    \list
    \li Information about the raw audio stream, shown in the uppermost widget:
    \list
        \li The amount of data currently in the buffer, shown in blue
        \li The segment of data which was most recently analysed to compute
        the frequency spectrum, shown in green
        \li The raw audio waveform, shown in white and scrolling from right to
        left
    \endlist
    \li A representation of the frequency spectrum, shown at the lower left
    \li The current RMS level of the audio stream, and the recent 'high
    watermark' level, shown at the lower right
    \endlist

    Spectrum analysis is performed by calculating the Fast Fourier Transform
    (FFT) of a segment of audio data.  An open-source library,
    \l{http://ldesoras.free.fr/prod.html}{FFTReal}, against which the
    application is dynamically linked, is used to compute the transform.
