release_voice(3)

📦 version 4.4.3.1, in fedora 43, fedora 44

✨ NAME ✨

release_voice — releases a sound card voice, and it's from the Allegro game programming library. This is the release_voice(3) page from the Allegro manual, bestie. 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro.h>

void release_voice(int voice);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so release_voice(int voice) is the "bestie, I'm done with this voice" button. It releases a sound card voice, meaning you are no longer interested in manipulating it. Not me ghosting it, just politely closing the tab. 👋✨

The sound will continue to play, and any resources that it is using will automatically be freed when it finishes. So it gets to finish its little performance, and then the cleanup crew handles the rest. 🧹💅

This is essentially the same as deallocate_voice(), but it waits for the sound to stop playing before taking effect. So it's giving patient, not instant. deallocate_voice() could never? Well, actually it's basically the same, but this one is the wait-for-it version. Periodt. 💜

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

Allegro, version 4.4.3 — that's the source/version energy, and the page is release_voice(3). Date? The footer didn't give one, so we're not inventing it, bestie. No cap, that's the whole manual page. 💖✨🎀🦋
