okay bestie, gather round, because we're diving into the Allegro 5 API and this one is short but soooo useful. it lives in the 3alleg5 manual section, iykyk. π
β¨ NAME β¨
al_get_audio_stream_played_samples β Allegro 5 API π¦
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>
uint64_t al_get_audio_stream_played_samples(const ALLEGRO_AUDIO_STREAM *stream)
like yes, that's the whole vibe. one function, one include, zero drama. π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
so basically, this lil function hands you back the number of samples consumed by the parent since the audio stream was started. π§β¨
read that again: the parent is the one doing the consuming, and it's counting from the moment the stream started β not from now, not from whenever you felt like asking. periodt.
ngl it's giving "how far along are we actually" energy, and honestly? obsessed. π«Ά
β¨ SINCE β¨
5.1.8 β yeah she's been here a minute, no cap. πΈ
and that's the whole page, bestie!! short and sweet, just how we like it. π
okay so cute lil sign-off time: this whole thing comes from the Allegro reference manual, manual page version 3alleg5 β which is literally the exact same tag you saw in the title up top, because she's consistent like that. π
go forth and count those samples. you ate. π₯πβ
