al_set_audio_stream_fragment(3alleg5)

✨ al_set_audio_stream_fragment — Allegro 5 API ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro reference manual (yes, the Allegro reference manual, Allegro 5 era, the whole vibe) 💖 this one's a little one but she's IMPORTANT, so lock in.

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_set_audio_stream_fragment — it's the Allegro 5 API function that tells your audio stream "hey girl, the buffer's ready" 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

bool al_set_audio_stream_fragment(ALLEGRO_AUDIO_STREAM *stream, void *val)

look at her. two params, one bool return, no drama. iconic ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea, and it's literally the whole function:

You call al_set_audio_stream_fragment for every single successful call of al_get_audio_stream_fragment(3alleg5). Every. One. No skipping, no "I'll do it later", no "it's fine" 🙈

Why tho? Because calling it is how you indicate that the buffer — the one pointed to by val — is filled with new data. That's the message you're sending back. The get gave you a buffer, you filled it, and this is you going "done bestie, it's got fresh data in it now" 🫶

no cap: the "for every successful call" part is not a suggestion. The way that the get and the set are a matched set? That's the whole mechanic. Miss one and you've left the buffer situation un-announced, and that's on you 💀
