al_get_audio_..._position_secs(3alleg5)

💖 al_get_audio_stream_position_secs — the Allegro 5 API glow-up 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API reference manual, 3alleg5 section, and today's main character is a lil function that tells you where you're at in your audio stream. no cap, it's giving "are we there yet" but for sound. 🎧✨

✨ NAME ✨

al_get_audio_stream_position_secs — Allegro 5 API 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

double al_get_audio_stream_position_secs(ALLEGRO_AUDIO_STREAM *stream)

like. she takes one ALLEGRO_AUDIO_STREAM *stream and she hands you back a double. iconic behavior honestly. 👑

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So what does she do, you ask? She returns the position of the stream, in seconds. that's it, that's the whole vibe. ⏱️✨

BUT — and this is the important part, bestie, don't skip this — currently this can only be called on streams created with these four:

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

if your stream came from literally anywhere else, this is not the girl for you, and that's just how it is. 🙈

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

• al_get_audio_stream_length_secs(3alleg5) — for when you wanna know how long the whole thing is, not just where you're at. her sister fr fr. 💜

lowkey a tiny function but highkey essential. vibe check passed. 🦋
