al_set_sam...ce_playing(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay so this page is al_set_sam...ce_playing(3), straight out of the Library Functions Manual, and it's serving the Allegro 5 API bestie 💅. The main character here is al_set_sample_instance_playing, and yes, it does exactly what it says on the tin.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

bool al_set_sample_instance_playing(ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *spl, bool val)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This one is literally here to change whether the sample instance is playing, no cap.

The instance does not need to be attached to anything — and that little glow-up has been true since 5.1.8 ✨.

It returns true on success and false on failure. Periodt.

🫶 Technical tea, kept exactly as it is: the instance does not need to be attached to anything since 5.1.8.
