al_play_sample - Man Page

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

bool al_play_sample(ALLEGRO_SAMPLE *spl, float gain, float pan, float speed,
   ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE loop, ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_ID *ret_id)

Plays a sample on one of the sample instances created by al_reserve_samples(3). Returns true on success, false on failure. Playback may fail because all the reserved sample instances are currently used.

Parameters:

• gain - relative volume at which the sample is played; 1.0 is normal.
• pan - 0.0 is centred, -1.0 is left, 1.0 is right, or ALLEGRO_AUDIO_PAN_NONE.
• speed - relative speed at which the sample is played; 1.0 is normal.
• loop - ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE_ONCE, ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE_LOOP, or ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE_BIDIR
• ret_id - if non-NULL the variable which this points to will be assigned an id representing the sample being played. If al_play_sample(3) returns false, then the contents of ret_id are invalid and must not be used as argument to other functions.
