NAME

       play_audio_stream - Creates a new audio stream and starts playing it. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       AUDIOSTREAM *play_audio_stream(int len, int bits, int stereo, int freq, int vol, int pan);

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  creates	a  new	audio  stream  and starts playing it. The length is the size of each transfer buffer in sample frames (not
       bytes), where a sample frame is a single sample value for mono data or a pair of interleaved sample values (left first)	for  stereo  data.
       The  length  should  normally  be  (but doesn't have to be) a power of 2 somewhere around 1k in size. Larger buffers are more efficient and
       require fewer updates, but result in more latency between you providing the data and it actually being played.

       The `bits' parameter must be 8 or 16. `freq' is the sample rate of the data in Hertz. The `vol' and `pan' values use the same 0-255  ranges
       as the regular sample playing functions. The `stereo' parameter should be set to 1 for stereo streams, or 0 otherwise.

       If  you	want  to  adjust  the  pitch,  volume, or panning of a stream once it is playing, you can use the regular voice_*() functions with
       stream->voice as a parameter. The format of the sample data is described in the SAMPLE entry of the "Structures and types defined by  Alle-
       gro" chapter. The formula to get the size of the buffers in bytes could be:

	  bytes = length * (bits / 8) * (stereo ? 2 : 1)
       Example:

	  /* Create a 22KHz 8bit mono audio stream. */
	  stream = play_audio_stream(1024, 8, FALSE, 22050, 255, 128);
	  if (!stream)
	     abort_on_error("Error creating audio stream!
");

RETURN VALUE

       This function returns a pointer to the audio stream or NULL if it could not be created.
