Audio types

ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH

enum ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH {

Sample depth and type, and signedness. Mixers only use 32-bit signed float (-1..+1). The unsigned value is a bit-flag applied to the depth value.

  • ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_INT8
  • ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_INT16
  • ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_INT24
  • ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_FLOAT32
  • ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_UNSIGNED

For convenience:

  • ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_UINT8
  • ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_UINT16
  • ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_UINT24

ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DRIVER_ENUM

enum ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DRIVER_ENUM {

The sound driver to use. It is highly recommended to use ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DRIVER_AUTODETECT whenever possible.

  • ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DRIVER_AUTODETECT
  • ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DRIVER_OPENAL
  • ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DRIVER_ALSA
  • ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DRIVER_DSOUND
  • ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DRIVER_OSS

ALLEGRO_AUDIO_PAN_NONE

#define ALLEGRO_AUDIO_PAN_NONE      (-1000.0f)

Special value for the ALLEGRO_AUDIOPROP_PAN property. Use this value to play samples at their original volume with panning disabled.

ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF

enum ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF {

Speaker configuration (mono, stereo, 2.1, 3, etc).

  • ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF_1
  • ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF_2
  • ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF_3
  • ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF_4
  • ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF_5_1
  • ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF_6_1
  • ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF_7_1

ALLEGRO_MIXER

typedef struct ALLEGRO_MIXER ALLEGRO_MIXER;

A mixer is a type of stream which mixes together attached streams into a single buffer.

ALLEGRO_MIXER_QUALITY

enum ALLEGRO_MIXER_QUALITY {
  • ALLEGRO_MIXER_QUALITY_POINT
  • ALLEGRO_MIXER_QUALITY_LINEAR

ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE

enum ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE {

Sample and stream looping mode.

  • ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE_ONCE
  • ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE_LOOP
  • ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE_BIDIR

ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_ID

typedef struct {

An ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_ID represents a sample being played via al_play_sample. It can be used to later stop the sample with al_stop_sample.

ALLEGRO_SAMPLE

typedef struct ALLEGRO_SAMPLE ALLEGRO_SAMPLE;

An ALLEGRO_SAMPLE object stores the data necessary for playing pre-defined digital audio. It holds information pertaining to data length, frequency, channel configuration, etc. You can have an ALLEGRO_SAMPLE object playing multiple times simultaneously. The object holds a user-specified PCM data buffer, of the format the object is created with.

ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE

typedef struct ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE;

An ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE object represents a playable instance of a predefined sound effect. It holds information pertaining to the looping mode, loop start/end points, playing position, etc. An instance uses the data from an ALLEGRO_SAMPLE object. Multiple instances may be created from the same ALLEGRO_SAMPLE. An ALLEGRO_SAMPLE must not be destroyed while there are instances which reference it.

To be played, an ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE object must be attached to an ALLEGRO_VOICE object, or to an ALLEGRO_MIXER object which is itself attached to an ALLEGRO_VOICE object (or to another ALLEGRO_MIXER object which is attached to an ALLEGRO_VOICE object, etc).

ALLEGRO_STREAM

typedef struct ALLEGRO_STREAM ALLEGRO_STREAM;

An ALLEGRO_STREAM object is used to stream generated audio to the sound device, in real-time. As with ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE objects, they store information necessary for playback, so you may not play one multiple times simultaneously. They also need to be attached to an ALLEGRO_VOICE object, or to an ALLEGRO_MIXER object which, eventually, reaches an ALLEGRO_VOICE object.

While playing, you must periodically supply new buffer data by first checking ALLEGRO_AUDIOPROP_USED_FRAGMENTS, then refilling the buffers via ALLEGRO_AUDIOPROP_BUFFER. If you're late with supplying new data, the object will be silenced until new data is provided. You must call al_drain_stream when you're finished supplying the stream.

ALLEGRO_VOICE

typedef struct ALLEGRO_VOICE ALLEGRO_VOICE;

A voice structure that you'd attach a mixer or sample to. Ideally there would be one ALLEGRO_VOICE per system/hardware voice.

Setting up

al_install_audio

bool al_install_audio(ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DRIVER_ENUM mode)

Parameters:

Returns true on success, false on failure.

See also: al_reserve_samples.

al_uninstall_audio

void al_uninstall_audio(void)

al_reserve_samples

bool al_reserve_samples(int reserve_samples)

Reserves 'reserve_samples' number of samples attached to the default mixer. al_install_audio must have been called first. If no default mixer is set, then this function will create a voice with an attached mixer. Returns true on success, false on error.

Voice functions

al_create_voice

ALLEGRO_VOICE *al_create_voice(unsigned long freq,
   ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH depth, ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF chan_conf)

Creates a voice struct and allocates a voice from the digital sound driver. The sound driver's allocate_voice function should change the voice's frequency, depth, chan_conf, and settings fields to match what is actually allocated. If it cannot create a voice with exact settings it will fail. Use a mixer in such a case.

al_destroy_voice

void al_destroy_voice(ALLEGRO_VOICE *voice)

Destroys the voice and deallocates it from the digital driver. Does nothing if the voice is NULL.

al_detach_voice

void al_detach_voice(ALLEGRO_VOICE *voice)

Detaches the sample or mixer stream from the voice.

al_attach_stream_to_voice

bool al_attach_stream_to_voice(ALLEGRO_VOICE *voice, ALLEGRO_STREAM *stream)

Attaches an audio stream to a voice. The same rules as al_attach_sample_to_voice apply. This may fail if the driver can't create a voice with the buffer count and buffer size the stream uses.

al_attach_mixer_to_voice

bool al_attach_mixer_to_voice(ALLEGRO_VOICE *voice, ALLEGRO_MIXER *mixer)

Attaches a mixer to a voice. The same rules as al_attach_sample_to_voice apply, with the exception of the depth requirement.

al_attach_sample_to_voice

bool al_attach_sample_to_voice(ALLEGRO_VOICE *voice, ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *spl)

Attaches a sample to a voice, and allows it to play. The sample's volume and loop mode will be ignored, and it must have the same frequency and depth (including signed-ness) as the voice. This function may fail if the selected driver doesn't support preloading sample data.

al_get_voice_frequency

unsigned int al_get_voice_frequency(const ALLEGRO_VOICE *voice)

Return the frequency of the voice, e.g. 44100.

al_get_voice_channels

ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF al_get_voice_channels(const ALLEGRO_VOICE *voice)

Return the channel configuration of the voice.

See also: ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF.

al_get_voice_depth

ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH al_get_voice_depth(const ALLEGRO_VOICE *voice)

Return the audio depth of the voice.

See also: ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH.

al_get_voice_playing

bool al_get_voice_playing(const ALLEGRO_VOICE *voice)

Return true if the voice is currently playing.

al_set_voice_playing

bool al_set_voice_playing(ALLEGRO_VOICE *voice, bool val)

Change whether a voice is playing or not. The voice must have a sample or mixer attached to it.

Returns true on success, false on failure.

al_get_voice_position

unsigned long al_get_voice_position(const ALLEGRO_VOICE *voice)

When the voice has a non-streaming object attached to it, e.g. a sample, returns the voice's current sample position. Otherwise, returns zero.

al_set_voice_position

bool al_set_voice_position(ALLEGRO_VOICE *voice, unsigned long val)

Set the voice position. This can only work if the voice has a non-streaming object attached to it, e.g. a sample.

Returns true on success, false on failure.

Sample functions

al_create_sample

ALLEGRO_SAMPLE *al_create_sample(void *buf, unsigned long samples,
   unsigned long freq, ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH depth,
   ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF chan_conf, bool free_buf)

Create a sample data structure from the supplied buffer. If free_buf is true then the buffer will be freed as well when the sample data structure is destroyed.

al_destroy_sample

void al_destroy_sample(ALLEGRO_SAMPLE *spl)

Free the sample data structure. If it was created with the free_buf parameter set to true, then the buffer will be freed as well.

al_play_sample

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

Plays a sample over the default mixer. al_reserve_samples must have previously been called. Returns true on success, false on failure. Playback may fail because all the reserved samples are currently used.

al_stop_sample

void al_stop_sample(ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_ID *spl_id)

Stop the sample started by al_play_sample.

al_stop_samples

void al_stop_samples(void)

Stop all samples started by al_play_sample.

al_destroy_sample_instance

void al_destroy_sample_instance(ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *spl)

Detaches the sample stream from anything it may be attached to and frees it (the sample data is not freed!).

al_play_sample_instance

bool al_play_sample_instance(ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *spl)

Play an instance of a sample data. Returns true on success, false on failure.

al_stop_sample_instance

bool al_stop_sample_instance(ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *spl)

float al_get_sample_instance_gain(const ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *spl)

Return the playback gain.

al_set_sample_instance_gain

bool al_set_sample_instance_gain(ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *spl, float val)

Returns true on success, false on failure. Will fail if the sample instance is attached directly to a voice.

al_get_sample_instance_pan

float al_get_sample_instance_pan(const ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *spl)

Get the pan value.

al_set_sample_instance_pan

bool al_set_sample_instance_pan(ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *spl, float val)

Set the pan value on a sample instance. A value of -1.0 means to play the sample only through the left speaker; +1.0 means only through the right speaker; 0.0 means the sample is centre balanced.

A constant sound power level is maintained as the sample is panned from left to right. As a consequence, a pan value of 0.0 will play the sample 3 dB softer than the original level. To disable panning and play a sample at its original level, set the pan value to ALLEGRO_AUDIO_PAN_NONE.

Returns true on success, false on failure. Will fail if the sample instance is attached directly to a voice.

(A sound guy should explain that better; I only implemented it. Also this might be more properly called a balance control than pan. Also we don't attempt anything with more than two channels yet.)

al_get_sample_instance_time

float al_get_sample_instance_time(const ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *spl)

Return the length of the sample instance in seconds, assuming a playback speed of 1.0.

Return the sample data that the sample instance plays.

al_set_sample

bool al_set_sample(ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *spl, ALLEGRO_SAMPLE *data)

Change the sample data that a sample instance plays. This can be quite an involved process.

First, the sample is stopped if it is not already.

Next, if data is NULL, the sample is detached from its parent (if any).

If data is not NULL, the sample may be detached and reattached to its parent (if any). This is not necessary if the old sample data and new sample data have the same frequency, depth and channel configuration. Reattaching may not always succeed.

On success, the sample remains stopped. The playback position and loop end points are reset to their default values. The loop mode remains unchanged.

Returns true on success, false on failure. On failure, the sample will be stopped and detached from its parent.
