Problems with ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_ID*

I am having a slight problem with my audio class. It just stops responding when I use this->sample[id].sample_id in the al_play_sample() function.

Here is the struct used to hold the data.

#SelectExpand
 1struct SAMPLE_DATA
 2{
 3    ALLEGRO_SAMPLE* sample;
 4    ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_ID* sample_id;
 5};

This is the vector that holds the array.

#SelectExpand
 1std::vector<SAMPLE_DATA> sample;

This is how I load, play and stop the sounds.

#SelectExpand
  1int Audio::load_from_file( std::string filename )
  2{
  3    ALLEGRO_SAMPLE* temp_sample = al_load_sample( filename.c_str() );
  4    if ( temp_sample )
  5    {
  6        SAMPLE_DATA sd;
  7        sd.sample = temp_sample;
  8        this->sample.push_back( sd );
  9        return this->sample.size() - 1;
 10    }
 11
 12    return -1;
 13}
 14
 15void Audio::play( int id, ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE loop, float gain, float pan, float speed )
 16{
 17    if ( this->is_valid_id( id ) )
 18    {
 19        al_play_sample( this->sample[id].sample, gain, pan, speed, loop, this->sample[id].sample_id );
 20    }
 21}
 22
 23void Audio::stop( int id )
 24{
 25    if ( this->is_valid_id( id ) )
 26    {
 27        al_stop_sample( this->sample[id].sample_id );
 28    }
 29}

If I use this it works fine but then I have no sample id to stop it.

#SelectExpand
 1void Audio::play( int id, ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE loop, float gain, float pan, float speed )
 2{
 3    if ( this->is_valid_id( id ) )
 4    {
 5        al_play_sample( this->sample[id].sample, gain, pan, speed, loop, NULL );
 6    }
 7}

Any suggestions?

Use ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_ID foo; and pass &foo as the parameter. You are passing around a pointer to unallocated memory.

Thank you so much. It works fine now

Maybe this is because you didn't select "a question with a specific answer" or something like that...(when writing the OP)

When you create the thread, you have to select "A question or problem with a specific answer" under the Classification pulldown.
