/**
  This is an example of how to use a FilePlayer UGen to play an audio file. It support all of the same formats that 
  AudioPlayer does, but allows you to insert the audio from the file into a UGen chain. FilePlayer provides all the 
  same methods that AudioPlayer does for controlling the file playback: play(), loop(), cue(int position), etc.
  <p>
  Press any key to pause and unpause playback!
