I have some questions about digital audio:
 1. If i can use the DIGI_AUTODETECT parameter to install_sound()
    why i need a configuration file?
 2. How can I know the actual sfx or gfx mode that my program is using?
    ie: there is something like gfx_capabilities (sfx_capabilities)?
 3. if i don't know the frequency i am using, how can i load samples
    in the right way? Allegro will automatically convert 16 to 8 bit
    freq once i have launched install_sound()?
 4. Which difference is between "sample" and "voice"?
 5. How can my program know when a sample has finished playing?

I had problems in setting up the screen refresh routines, so I wrote
a code to handle page flipping, double buffering and triple flipping.
It is very simple and (i see) smart.
How can i post it?

I'm sorry for my English, it could sound confusing...
Thanx for the help and for makeing Allegro: it's GREAT!
