NAME
       al_init_acodec_addon - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro_acodec.h>

              bool al_init_acodec_addon(void)


DESCRIPTION
       This function registers all the known audio file type handlers for
       al_load_sample(3), al_save_sample(3), al_load_audio_stream(3), etc.

       Depending on what libraries are available, the full set of recognised
       extensions is: .wav, .flac, .ogg, .opus, .it, .mod, .s3m, .xm, .voc.

       Limitations:

       o Saving is only supported for wav files.

       o The wav file loader currently only supports 8/16 bit little endian
         PCM files.  16 bits are used when saving wav files.  Use flac files
         if more precision is required.

       o Module files (.it, .mod, .s3m, .xm) are often composed with streaming
         in mind, and sometimes cannot be easily rendered into a finite length
         sample.  Therefore they cannot be loaded with
         al_load_sample(3)/al_load_sample_f(3) and must be streamed with
         al_load_audio_stream(3) or al_load_audio_stream_f(3).

       o .voc file streaming is unimplemented.

       Return true on success.
