NAME

       get_sound_input_cap_bits - Checks which audio input sample formats are supported. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int get_sound_input_cap_bits();

DESCRIPTION

       Checks which sample formats are supported by the current audio input driver, returning one of the bitfield values:

	  0 = audio input not supported
	  8 = eight bit audio input is supported
	  16 = sixteen bit audio input is supported
	  24 = both eight and sixteen bit audio input are supported
       Example:

	  cap = get_sound_input_cap_bits();
	  if (cap == 0) {
	     /* Ugh, no audio input supported? */
	  } else {
	     if (cap & 8) {
		/* We have eight bit audio input. */
	     }
	     if (cap & 16) {
		/* We have sixteen bit audio input. */
	     }
	  }
