detect_midi_driver - Detects whether the specified MIDI sound device is available. Allegro game
Contents
Description
Detects whether the specified MIDI sound device is available. This function must be called _before_
install_sound().
Name
detect_midi_driver - Detects whether the specified MIDI sound device is available. Allegro game
programming library.
Return Value
Returns the maximum number of voices that the driver can provide, or zero if the hardware is not present.
There are two special-case return values that you should watch out for: if this function returns -1 it is
a note-stealing driver (eg. DIGMID) that shares voices with the current digital sound driver, and if it
returns 0xFFFF it is an external device like an MPU-401 where there is no way to determine how many
voices are available.
