✨ 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 picture this: al_create_mixer makes you a mixer. and what is a mixer for?? it's the little hangout spot where you attach your sample instances, your audio streams, or even other mixers — like, mixers attaching to mixers, it's giving family reunion 🫶

it mixes everything into a buffer at the frequency you asked for (that's in Hz) and at the channel count you asked for. periodt.

now the tea on audio depths ☕ — the only supported ones are:

• ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_FLOAT32
• ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_INT16

and heads up, ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_INT16 is (not yet complete). so like. it's there but it's not fully cooked yet 😭 don't come for me, that's just what the page says.

also, real talk: a mixer on its own is literally producing nothing. it's just vibing. to actually get any output you have to attach it to a voice using al_attach_mixer_to_voice(3alleg5). no voice, no sound. that's the vibe check. 💅

if you're like "bestie what args do i even pass", the reasonable defaults are:

al_create_mixer(44100, ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_FLOAT32, ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF_2)

slay. and the return? true on success, false on error. simple as that, fr fr.
