alGetFilled(3dm)					      alGetFilled(3dm)

NAME
     alGetFilled - return the number of filled sample frames in an audio port

SYNOPSIS
     #include <dmedia/audio.h>

     int alGetFilled(ALport port)

PARAMETER
     port   expects the audio port you want to query.  This structure is the
	    returned value of an alOpenPort(3dm) call.

DESCRIPTION
     alGetFilled returns the number of sample frames of audio now in the audio
     port.  How you interpret this number depends on whether port is an input
     port or an output port.

     For an input port, the return value is the greatest number of sample
     frames that can be read from the port without blocking (waiting for more
     samples to come into the port).

     For an output port, the return value is the number of sample frames yet
     to be played.

     Because the port may continue to empty or fill, the number returned by
     alGetFilled is an instantaneous measurement of the number of filled
     locations.	 For input ports this number will increase over time as new
     samples arrive.  For output ports this number will decrease as samples
     are played.

     In order to insure the best possible performance, alGetFilled performs no
     verification of port. You should make certain that port is a valid ALport
     structure before passing it as a parameter to alGetFilled.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Upon successful completion, alGetFilled will return a non-negative
     number.
