al_set_audio_stream_pan(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to al_set_audio_stream_pan(3) from the Library Functions Manual! This is the Allegro 5 API page for setting the pan on an audio stream. Slay. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

bool al_set_audio_stream_pan(ALLEGRO_AUDIO_STREAM *stream, float val)

🎧 DESCRIPTION 🎧

So you wanna set the pan value on an audio stream? iconic. Here’s the vibe check:

• -1.0 means the stream plays only through the left speaker 💜
• +1.0 means it plays only through the right speaker 💙
• 0.0 means the sample is centre balanced ⚖️

There’s also a special value, ALLEGRO_AUDIO_PAN_NONE(3), which disables panning and plays the stream at its original level. Heads up: this will be louder than a pan value of 0.0. no cap, that’s just how it is 🔥

It returns true on success and false on failure. And it will fail if the audio stream is attached directly to a voice. periodt. 💅

bestie, if your stream is attached straight to a voice, this function is gonna fail — so don’t come for it when it does 😭
