NAME

       play_sample - Plays a sample. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int play_sample(const SAMPLE *spl, int vol, int pan, int freq, int loop);

DESCRIPTION

       Triggers  a  sample  at the specified volume, pan position, and frequency.  The parameters
       `vol' and `pan' range from 0 (min/left) to 255 (max/right).  Frequency is relative  rather
       than  absolute:  1000  represents  the  frequency that the sample was recorded at, 2000 is
       twice this,  etc.  If  `loop'  is  not  zero,  the  sample  will  repeat  until  you  call
       stop_sample(),  and  can  be  manipulated  while it is playing by calling adjust_sample().
       Example:

          /* Scream from the left speaker, twice the freq. */
          int sound = play_sample(scream, 255, 0, 2000, 0);

RETURN VALUE

       Returns the voice number that was allocated for the sample or negative if no  voices  were
       available.
