al_play_audio_stream_f(3)

NAME

al_play_audio_stream_f - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

    #include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>
    ALLEGRO_AUDIO_STREAM *al_play_audio_stream_f(ALLEGRO_FILE *fp, const char *ident)

DESCRIPTION

Loads and plays an audio file from ALLEGRO_FILE(3) stream as it is needed.

The file type is determined by the passed `ident' parameter, which is a file name extension including the leading dot.

Returns the stream on success, NULL on failure. You must not destroy the returned stream, it will be automatically destroyed when the addon is shut down. On success the file should be considered owned by the audio stream, and will be closed when the audio stream is destroyed. On failure the file will be closed.

    Note: the allegro_audio library does not support any audio file formats by default. You must use the allegro_acodec addon, or register your own format handler.
