read_sound_input(3alleg4)					  Allegro manual					 read_sound_input(3alleg4)

NAME

       read_sound_input - Retrieves the last recorded audio buffer. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int read_sound_input(void *buffer);

DESCRIPTION

       Retrieves the most recently recorded audio buffer into the specified location. The buffer size can be obtained by checking the return value
       from start_sound_input(). You must be sure to call this function at regular intervals during the recording (typically around  100  times  a
       second),  or  some data will be lost. If you are unable to do this often enough from the mainline code, use the digi_recorder() callback to
       store the waveform into a larger buffer of your own.

       Note: many cards produce a click or popping sound when switching between record and playback modes, so it is often a good idea  to  discard
       the  first  buffer  after you start a recording. The waveform is always stored in unsigned format, with stereo data consisting of alternate
       left/right samples.

RETURN VALUE

       The function will return non-zero if a buffer has been copied or zero if no new data is yet available  (you  were  too  fast  checking  the
       input).
