NAME

       al_lock_sample_id - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

              ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE* al_lock_sample_id(ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_ID *spl_id)

DESCRIPTION

       Locks       a       ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_ID(3alleg5),       returning       the       underlying
       ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE(3alleg5).  This allows you to adjust the various properties of the
       instance (such as volume, pan, etc) while the sound is playing.

       This function will return NULL if the sound corresponding to the id is no longer playing.

       While   locked,   ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_ID   will   be   unavailable   to   additional  calls  to
       al_play_sample(3alleg5),  even  if  the  sound   stops   while   locked.    To   put   the
       ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_ID back into the pool for reuse, make sure to call al_unlock_sample_id when
       you're done with the instance.
