alGetConfig(3dm)alGetConfig(3dm)NAME
alGetConfig, alSetConfig - get/set the ALconfig of an audio ALport
SYNOPSIS
#include <dmedia/audio.h>
ALconfig alGetConfig(ALport port)
int alSetConfig(ALport port, ALconfig config)
PARAMETER
port expects an ALport, the returned value of an alOpenPort(3dm)
call.
config expects an ALconfig, the returned value of a call to
alNewConfig(3dm) or alGetConfig.
DESCRIPTIONalGetConfig leaves port unchanged, but returns an ALconfig structure
initialized to the configuration values of the audio port. alFreeConfig
should be called when the returned ALconfig is no longer needed.
alSetConfig attempts to change the configuration of the audio port, port,
to match that described by the ALconfig structure, config.
ALconfig structures contain information which specifies configuration
options for a port such as queue size, sample width, and number of
channels.
DIAGNOSTICS
When alGetConfig fails, it returns a null-valued ALconfig.
alGetConfig can fail for the following reasons:
AL_BAD_PORT port is either invalid or null.
AL_BAD_OUT_OF_MEM insufficient memory is available to allocate the
ALconfig structure.
Upon successful completion, alSetConfig returns 0. Otherwise, alSetConfig
returns -1 and sets an error number which can be retrieved using
oserror(3C).
alSetConfig can fail for the following reasons:
AL_BAD_PORT port is either invalid or null.
AL_BAD_CONFIG config is either invalid or null.
AL_BAD_DEVICE port and config have conflicting device settings.

AL_BAD_QSIZE port and config have conflicting values for queue size.
AL_BAD_CHANNELS port and config have conflicting number of channels.
NOTE
The device, queue size, and the number of channels of a port are static
attributes; they cannot be changed once a port is opened.
If you attempt to change any of these values, alSetConfig will fail.
