✨ deallocate_voice — freeing a sound card voice 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro manual, page for deallocate_voice(3). she's a tiny one but she MATTERS, no cap. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

deallocate_voice — frees a sound card voice. part of the Allegro game programming library, iykyk. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro.h>

void deallocate_voice(int voice);

that's it. that's the whole vibe. short, sweet, devastating. 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so listen. deallocate_voice frees a sound card voice. what does that actually mean though? it means the voice stops playing, like right now, no fade out, no goodbye hug 😭 — and then it releases whatever resources that voice was holding onto. give them back. return them to the void. 🌈

so basically: you borrowed a voice from the sound card, and now you're giving it back. the voice stops playing and everything it was using gets let go. two-for-one. ate. ✨

no cap, if you're done with a voice, this is how you let the sound card know. 🫶
