al_get_audio_...am_length_secs(3alleg5)

al_get_audio_stream_length_secs 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the Allegro 5 API (that's the 3alleg5 manual, iykyk) and it's literally the "how long is this song tho" function. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

al_get_audio_stream_length_secs — Allegro 5 API, your personal "how many secs is this stream" bestie 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

double al_get_audio_stream_length_secs(ALLEGRO_AUDIO_STREAM *stream)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: you hand her a stream, and she gives you back the length of that stream, in seconds, if it's known. that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

but babes — and this is the important part — if the length is NOT known, she returns zero. like, just 0. not an error, not a vibe check failure, just a lil zero. so don't be out here treating 0 like it's definitely a zero-length stream, because she said "if known" and she meant it fr fr. 😭

and here's the tea: currently you can only call this on streams that were created with one of these four icons:

• al_load_audio_stream(3alleg5)
• al_play_audio_stream(3alleg5)
• al_load_audio_stream_f(3alleg5)
• al_play_audio_stream_f(3alleg5)

any other stream? not the moment. she's not available for that. periodt. 👑

note the currently up there — that's the original's word, not mine, so don't come for me if it changes later. 🫶

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

• al_get_audio_stream_position_secs(3alleg5) — the "where are we rn" cousin to this one's "how long is the whole thing" energy. they're giving main character and supporting character, honestly. 💜
