Discussion

Occlusion means the sound is completely blocked - a sound playing in another room separated by a wall, for example.

By default, samples are completely non-occluded.

Occlusions are implemented with a low-pass filter function and sound really cool (they aren't completely linear across the frequency scale.... with most providers, you can still faintly hear low-frequency sounds, like the guy with the stereo upstairs).
