NAME

       al_init_acodec_addon - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro_acodec.h>

              bool al_init_acodec_addon(void)

DESCRIPTION

       This  function registers all the known audio file type handlers for al_load_sample(3alleg5), al_save_sam‐
       ple(3alleg5), al_load_audio_stream(3alleg5), etc.

       Depending on what libraries are available, the full set of recognised extensions is: .wav,  .flac,  .ogg,
       .opus, .it, .mod, .s3m, .xm, .voc.

       Limitations:

       • Saving is only supported for wav files.

       • The  wav  file  loader currently only supports 8/16 bit little endian PCM files.  16 bits are used when
         saving wav files.  Use flac files if more precision is required.

       • Module files (.it, .mod, .s3m, .xm) are often composed with streaming in mind, and sometimes cannot  be
         easily  rendered into a finite length sample.  Therefore they cannot be loaded with al_load_sample(3al‐
         leg5)/al_load_sample_f(3alleg5) and must be streamed with al_load_audio_stream(3alleg5) or  al_load_au‐
         dio_stream_f(3alleg5).

       • .voc file streaming is unimplemented.

       Return true on success.
