.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This function registers all the known audio file type handlers for
al_load_sample(3alleg5), al_save_sample(3alleg5),
al_load_audio_stream(3alleg5), etc.
.PP
Depending on what libraries are available, the full set of recognised
extensions is: .wav, .flac, .ogg, .opus, .it, .mod, .s3m, .xm, .voc.
.PP
\f[I]Limitations:\f[]
.IP \[bu] 2
Saving is only supported for wav files.
.IP \[bu] 2
The wav file loader currently only supports 8/16 bit little endian PCM
files.
16 bits are used when saving wav files.
Use flac files if more precision is required.
.IP \[bu] 2
Module files (.it, .mod, .s3m, .xm) are often composed with streaming in
mind, and sometimes cannot be easily rendered into a finite length
sample.
Therefore they cannot be loaded with
al_load_sample(3alleg5)/al_load_sample_f(3alleg5) and must be streamed
with al_load_audio_stream(3alleg5) or al_load_audio_stream_f(3alleg5).
.IP \[bu] 2
\&.voc file streaming is unimplemented.
.PP
Return true on success.
