.SS "reserve_channels"
.IX Subsection "reserve_channels"
.Vb 1
\& my $reserved = SDL::Mixer::Groups::reserve_channels( $num );
.Ve
.PP
\&\f(CW$num\fR is the number of channels to reserve from default mixing. Zero removes all reservations.
.PP
Reserve \f(CW$num\fR channels from being used when playing samples when passing in \f(CW\*(C`\-1\*(C'\fR as a channel number to playback functions. 
The channels are reserved starting from channel \f(CW0\fR to \f(CW\*(C`$num\-1\*(C'\fR. Passing in zero will unreserve all channels. Normally SDL_mixer starts 
without any channels reserved.
.PP
The following functions are affected by this setting:
.IP "\(bu" 4
SDL::Mixer::Channels::play_channel
.IP "\(bu" 4
SDL::Mixer::Channels::play_channel_timed
.IP "\(bu" 4
SDL::Mixer::Channels::fade_in_channel
.IP "\(bu" 4
SDL::Mixer::Channels::fade_in_channel_timed
.PP
Returns: The number of channels reserved. Never fails, but may return less channels than you ask for, depending on the number of channels 
previously allocated (see SDL::Mixer::Channels::allocate_channels).
.SS "group_channel"
.IX Subsection "group_channel"
.Vb 1
\& my $grouped = SDL::Mixer::Groups::group_channel( $channel, $group );
.Ve
.PP
Add a channel to group id (any positive integer), or reset it's group to the default group by passing (\-1).
.PP
Returns: \fBTrue\fR\|(1) on success. \fBFalse\fR\|(0) is returned when the channel specified is invalid.
.SS "group_channels"
.IX Subsection "group_channels"
.Vb 1
\& my $grouped = SDL::Mixer::Groups::group_channels( $from_channel, $to_channel, $group );
.Ve
.PP
Add a range of channels to group id (any positive integer), or reset their group to the default group by passing (\-1).
.PP
Returns: The number of affected channels.
.SS "group_available"
.IX Subsection "group_available"
.Vb 1
\& my $channel = SDL::Mixer::Groups::group_count( $group );
.Ve
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`group_newer\*(C'\fR returns the first available channel of this group.
.SS "group_count"
.IX Subsection "group_count"
.Vb 1
\& my $channels = SDL::Mixer::Groups::group_count( $group );
.Ve
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`group_newer\*(C'\fR returns the number of channels in this group.
.SS "group_oldest"
.IX Subsection "group_oldest"
.Vb 1
\& my $channel = SDL::Mixer::Groups::group_oldest( $group );
.Ve
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`group_newer\*(C'\fR returns the channel number which started to play at first.
.SS "group_newer"
.IX Subsection "group_newer"
.Vb 1
\& my $channel = SDL::Mixer::Groups::group_newer( $group );
.Ve
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`group_newer\*(C'\fR returns the channel number which started to play at last.
.SS "fade_out_group"
.IX Subsection "fade_out_group"
.Vb 1
\& SDL::Mixer::Groups::fade_out_group( $group, $ms );
.Ve
.PP
Fades out the channels by the given group id. The fade-out-time is specified by \f(CW$ms\fR.
.PP
Returns the number of affected channels.
.SS "halt_group"
.IX Subsection "halt_group"
.Vb 1
\& SDL::Mixer::Groups::hals_group( $group );
.Ve
.PP
Halts the channels by the given group id.
.PP
Returns \f(CW0\fR.
