al_set_audio_stream_speed(3alleg5)

💖 al_set_audio_stream_speed 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Allegro 5 API manual — yes, the Allegro 5, the one that does all the graphics and audio and game-dev slay 💅. And this particular little function? It's the one that makes your audio stream go fast or slow. Vibe control for your sound. Obsessed.

✨ NAME ✨

al_set_audio_stream_speed — Allegro 5 API 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

bool al_set_audio_stream_speed(ALLEGRO_AUDIO_STREAM *stream, float val)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what it does is: it sets the relative playback speed of the stream. And 1.0 means normal speed — like, the regular unbothered speed, the default, the no-notes speed. Anything else is you tweaking the vibe ✨.

It returns true on success and false on failure, bestie. That's the whole contract, no cap.

🚨 but lowkey important: it will fail if the audio stream is attached directly to a voice. So if you've got your stream glued straight onto a voice, this function is just gonna look at you and return false. Not its fault. That's just the rules 🙈.
