allocate_voice(3)               Allegro manual               allocate_voice(3)



NAME
       allocate_voice - Allocates a sound card voice for a sample. Allegro
       game programming library.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <allegro.h>


       int allocate_voice(const SAMPLE *spl);

DESCRIPTION
       Allocates a sound card voice and prepares it for playing the specified
       sample, setting up sensible default parameters (maximum volume, centre
       pan, no change of pitch, no looping). When you are finished with the
       voice you must free it by calling deallocate_voice() or
       release_voice().  Allegro can manage up to 256 simultaneous voices, but
       that limit may be lower due to hardware reasons.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns the voice number, or -1 if no voices are available.
