al_stop_audio_recorder(3alleg5)

✨ NAME ✨

al_stop_audio_recorder — it's giving Allegro 5 API 💖 (yes bestie, this is the one from al_stop_audio_recorder(3alleg5), we're just vibing in the Allegro reference manual now)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

void al_stop_audio_recorder(ALLEGRO_AUDIO_RECORDER *r)

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so this function stops capturing audio data. That's the whole job. Slay. 💅

But listen — and this is the part everyone forgets — the audio recorder is still active and still consuming resources after you call this. The way it just sits there eating your resources while doing nothing... not the vibe. So if you're genuinely done recording, you need to destroy it with al_destroy_audio_recorder(3alleg5). Periodt. 👑

Also, don't be confused if you still get a few events after you call this function — that's normal, it's just the device flushing the buffer. Fr fr, not a bug, it's the buffer finishing its little goodbye tour. 😭

And if you restart the recorder? It will begin recording at the beginning of the next fragment buffer. Iconic behavior, lowkey important, highkey useful. 🦋

⭐ SINCE ⭐

5.1.1 ✨

💀 [Unstable API]: The API may need a slight redesign. So like... it works, it's cute, but the Allegro girlies reserve the right to glow it up later. Don't build your whole personality on it. 🙈

That's the whole page bestie — this one came straight out of the Allegro reference manual, page al_stop_audio_recorder(3alleg5), and that footer date/version energy is just the manual's way of saying "no cap, this is current." 🫶🌈

Go destroy that recorder, you main character. 🎀💖
