NAME
       al_load_audio_stream - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

              ALLEGRO_AUDIO_STREAM *al_load_audio_stream(const char *filename,
                 size_t buffer_count, unsigned int samples)


DESCRIPTION
       Loads an audio file from disk as it is needed.

       Unlike regular streams, the one returned by this function need not be
       fed by the user; the library will automatically read more of the file
       as it is needed.  The stream will contain buffer_count buffers with
       samples samples.

       The audio stream will start in the playing state.  It should be
       attached to a voice or mixer to generate any output.  See
       ALLEGRO_AUDIO_STREAM(3) for more details.

       Returns the stream 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.
