NAME

Allegro::Sound - Allegro sound initialization/volume routines

SYNOPSIS

   use Allegro;

   $al    = Allegro->new() or die;
   $sound = $al->Sound() or die $al->error;

   $sound->volume(digi => 50);

This module includes the routines to initialize the Allegro sound card drivers.

Both Allegro::Sample and Allegro::MIDI will use this module implicitly, so you don't need a ``use Allegro::Sound''.

Installs the digital sound and MIDI drivers.

   $al->Sound(digi => 'auto',
              midi => 'none');

Currently only auto and none are valid drivers.

Uninstalls both the digital sound and MIDI drivers.

   $sound->shutdown;

Sets global volume.

   $sound->volume(digi => $digital_volume,
                  midi => $midi_volume);

Either may be omitted to keep the current volume.
