play_midi(3alleg4) Allegro manual play_midi(3alleg4)NAME
play_midi - Starts playing the specified MIDI file. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
int play_midi(MIDI *midi, int loop);
DESCRIPTION
Starts playing the specified MIDI file, first stopping whatever music was previously playing. If the loop flag is set to non-zero, the data
will be repeated until replaced with something else, otherwise it will stop at the end of the file. Passing a NULL pointer will stop what-
ever music is currently playing.
RETURN VALUE
Returns non-zero if an error occurs (this may happen if a patch-caching wavetable driver is unable to load the required samples, or at
least it might in the future when somebody writes some patch-caching wavetable drivers :-)
