# Mixer routines

- get_mixer_bits — Returns the mixer bitdepth (8 or 16).
- get_mixer_buffer_length — Returns the number of samples per channel in the mixer buffer.
- get_mixer_channels — Returns the number of output channels.
- get_mixer_frequency — Returns the mixer frequency, in Hz.
- get_mixer_quality — Returns the current mixing quality.
- get_mixer_voices — Returns the number of voices allocated to the mixer.
- set_mixer_quality — Sets the resampling quality of the mixer.

void set_mixer_quality(int quality);
Sets the resampling quality of the mixer. Valid values are the same as the ``quality'` config variable. Please read chapter "Standard config variables" for details. You can call this function at any point in your program, even before allegro_init().

int get_mixer_quality(void);
Returns the current mixing quality, as specified by the ``quality'` config variable, or a previous call to set_mixer_quality().

> See also: set_mixer_quality, Standard config variables.

int get_mixer_frequency(void);
Returns the mixer frequency, in Hz.

> See also: Standard config variables.

int get_mixer_bits(void);
Returns the mixer bitdepth (8 or 16).

int get_mixer_channels(void);
Returns the number of output channels. 2 for stereo, 1 for mono, 0 if the mixer isn't active.

int get_mixer_voices(void);
Returns the number of voices allocated to the mixer.

int get_mixer_buffer_length(void);
Returns the number of samples per channel in the mixer buffer.
