SYNOPSIS

10       #include <allegro.h>

13       int play_midi(MIDI *midi, int loop);
14

DESCRIPTION

16       Starts playing the specified MIDI file, first stopping  whatever  music
17       was  previously  playing. If the loop flag is set to non-zero, the data
18       will be repeated until replaced with something else, otherwise it  will
19       stop  at the end of the file. Passing a NULL pointer will stop whatever
20       music is currently playing.
21

RETURN VALUE

23       Returns non-zero if an error occurs (this may happen if a patch-caching
24       wavetable driver is unable to load the required samples, or at least it
25       might in the future when somebody writes some  patch-caching  wavetable
26       drivers :-)
