Allegro 5 api

Usage

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>
void al_unlock_sample_id(ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_ID *spl_id)

Overview

Unlocks a ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_ID(3), allowing future calls to al_play_sample(3) to reuse it if possible. Note that after the id is unlocked, the ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE(3) that was previously returned by al_lock_sample_id(3) will possibly be playing a different sound, so you should only use it after locking the id again.
