Manipulating the Listener
The Listener3D object is created and used much like the Buffer3D object is.

For this reason, you cannot use a SecondaryBuffer when creating a listener object; you can only use a Buffer object, and then only if it is a primary buffer.
Before you write the code using the listener object, you should take a look at the properties and settings you can modify on it, much like you did with the 3D buffer object. You will find these properties in Table 14.3.
