al_create_mixer(3)

💖 NAME 💖

al_create_mixer — Allegro 5 API. 💅 This page is from the Library Functions Manual, and the title is literally al_create_mixer(3), so you already know the vibe.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

ALLEGRO_MIXER *al_create_mixer(unsigned int freq,
   ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH depth, ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF chan_conf)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so this function creates a mixer — the little hub where you attach sample instances, audio streams, or other mixers to. 🫶 It will mix into a buffer at the requested frequency (in Hz, bestie) and channel count. Main character audio energy, fr fr.

The only supported audio depths are ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_FLOAT32 and ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_INT16 — and yes, ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_INT16 is not yet complete, so don't forget that part. 💀

To actually produce any output, the mixer will have to be attached to a voice using al_attach_mixer_to_voice(3). No voice attach, no output — periodt. 🔥

Reasonable default arguments are:

al_create_mixer(44100, ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_FLOAT32, ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF_2)

Returns true on success, false on error. Simple as that. 💅

Cute little sign-off: the footer says Allegro reference manual and is tagged al_create_mixer(3) — no date shown, so we're not inventing one, bestie. 🎀✨
