## What it does

ALAudioSourceLocalization identifies the direction of any loud enough sound heard by the robot.

Warning

Deprecated since version 1.22: this module has been re-factored and has changed name, so use the new ALSoundLocalization module, which has the same API.

For backward compatibility, the module ALAudioSourceLocalization is still supported. Please refer to the ALSoundLocalization API documentation, the only difference being the name of the events:

- ALSoundLocalization/SoundLocated and ALSoundLocalization/SoundsLocated for ALSoundLocalization
- ALAudioSourceLocalization/SoundLocated and ALSoundLocalization/SoundsLocated for ALAudioSourceLocalization
