al_load_sample(3)                                            al_load_sample(3)

NAME
       al_load_sample - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

              ALLEGRO_SAMPLE *al_load_sample(const char *filename)

DESCRIPTION
       Loads a few different audio file formats based on their extension.

       Note that this stores the entire file in memory at once, which may be
       time consuming.  To read the file as it is needed, use
       al_load_audio_stream(3).

       Returns the sample on success, NULL on failure.

              Note: the allegro_audio library does not support any audio file
              formats by default.  You must use the allegro_acodec addon, or
              register your own format handler.
