ALgetsampfmt(3dm)                                            ALgetsampfmt(3dm)



NAME
     ALgetsampfmt, ALsetsampfmt - (obsolete) get/set the sample format setting
     in an audio ALconfig structure

SYNOPSIS
     #include <dmedia/audio.h>

     long ALgetsampfmt(ALconfig config)

     int ALsetsampfmt(ALconfig config, long sampleformat)

PARAMETER
     config         expects an ALconfig structure, the returned value of a
                    call to ALnewconfig(3dm) or ALgetconfig(3dm).

     sampleformat   expects a symbolic constant that identifies the format of
                    an audio sample.  There are three symbolic constants
                    defined for this parameter.

DESCRIPTION
     ALsetsampfmt and ALgetsampfmt are obsolete and are provided for backward
     compatibility. The preferred functions are alSetSampFmt(3dm) and
     alGetSampFmt(3dm).

     ALsetsampfmt(3dm) sets the sample format in the ALconfig structure
     config.  Any audio port that you then configure using config will have
     the audio sample format you specify with sampleformat.

     ALgetsampfmt(3dm) returns the current sample format setting in the
     ALconfig structure config.

     The currently defined set of sample formats found in audio.h are:

          AL_SAMPFMT_TWOSCOMP
               indicates linear PCM two's complement integer sample
               format. Width of the integer data is one of signed char,
               short, or long as specified by the ALsetwidth(3dm)
               function.
          AL_SAMPFMT_FLOAT
               indicates linear PCM IEEE 32-bit floating point
               sample format.
          AL_SAMPFMT_DOUBLE
               indicates linear PCM IEEE 64-bit floating
               point sample format.

          ALsetsampfmt(3dm) can fail for the following reasons:

          ALBADCONFIG    config is invalid or null.

          ALBADSAMPFMT   sampleformat is not one of the accepted constants.

ALgetsampfmt(3dm)                                            ALgetsampfmt(3dm)



          ALgetsampfmt(3dm) can fail for the following reason:

          ALBADCONFIG   config is invalid or null.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Upon successful completion, ALgetsampfmt(3dm) returns a long whose value
     is the same as one of the symbolic constants described above for
     sampleformat. Otherwise, ALgetsampfmt(3dm) returns -1 and sets an error
     number which can be retrieved with oserror(3C).

     Upon successful completion, ALsetsampfmt(3dm) returns 0. Otherwise, -1 is
     returned and an error number is set as described above.
