al_get_sample - Allegro 5 API

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>
ALLEGRO_SAMPLE *al_get_sample(ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *spl)
    

Return the sample data that the sample instance plays.

Note this returns a pointer to an internal structure, not the ALLEGRO_SAMPLE(3alleg5) that you may have passed to al_set_sample(3alleg5). However, the sample buffer of the returned ALLEGRO_SAMPLE will be the same as the one that was used to create the sample (passed to al_create_sample(3alleg5)). You can use al_get_sample_data(3alleg5) on the return value to retrieve and compare it.
