I think I'm approaching this problem from the wrong angle. Rather than play
a sample through allegro's functions is there any way I can simply flex or
relax the speakers a single time? Is there an ultra low-level allegro
function I can get at to do  this? This would be a similar function to
writing to port 61h on a pc, but would affect the speakers wired up to the
sound card, rather than the pc speaker.
