NAME

       al_reserve_samples - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

              bool al_reserve_samples(int reserve_samples)

DESCRIPTION

       Reserves  a  number of sample instances, attaching them to the default mixer.  If no default mixer is set
       when this function is called, then it will create one and attach it to the default voice.  If no  default
       voice has been set, it, too, will be created.

       If you call this function a second time with a smaller number of samples, then the excess internal sample
       instances   will   be   destroyed   causing   some   sounds  to  stop  and  some  instances  returned  by
       al_lock_sample_id(3alleg5) to be invalidated.

       This diagram illustrates the structures that are set up:

                                                    sample instance 1
                                                  / sample instance 2
              default voice <-- default mixer <---         .
                                                  \        .
                                                    sample instance N

       Returns true on success, false on error.  al_install_audio(3alleg5) must have been called first.
