al_set_sample_instance_speed(3alleg5)

💖 al_set_sample_instance_speed 💖

ok so this is a page from the Allegro 5 API manual, and it's literally all about making your sample instances go zoom (or go slow, no judgement bestie 🦋).

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

bool al_set_sample_instance_speed(ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *spl, float val)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so bestie, this one sets the relative playback speed of your sample instance. that's the vibe. and the golden number? 1.0 means normal speed. that's it, that's the baseline, the main character setting 👑

want it faster? go above 1.0. want it draggy and slowed down? below. whatever, it's your world 💅

it returns true on success and false on failure — so like, always check the return value, ngl, don't just assume it ate 🙈

⚠️ heads up: this will fail if the sample instance is attached directly to a voice. no cap. if that's your setup, it's giving ✋ not happening ✋
