al_set_audio_stream_pan(3alleg5)

✨ NAME ✨

al_set_audio_stream_pan — Allegro 5 API, bestie 💖 (that's the 3alleg5 manual, if you were wondering where you wandered into)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

bool al_set_audio_stream_pan(ALLEGRO_AUDIO_STREAM *stream, float val)

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so this one sets the pan value on an audio stream. Pan = where the sound sits in your headphones, and it is literally the main character of this function.

Here's the tea on the values:

• -1.0 — stream plays only through the left speaker 🎧
• +1.0 — stream plays only through the right speaker 🎧
• 0.0 — the sample is centre balanced, dead middle, balanced queen 👑

And then there's a special value: ALLEGRO_AUDIO_PAN_NONE(3alleg5). That one disables panning entirely and plays the stream at its original level. Heads up though — that will be louder than a pan value of 0.0. No cap.

It returns true on success and false on failure. And it will fail if the audio stream is attached directly to a voice. So if it's giving failure, check that first, fr fr 😭
