NAME
     alGetEventParam - get parameter of audio event

SYNOPSIS
     #include <dmedia/audio.h>

     int alGetEventParam(ALevent event)


PARAMETER
     event        expects an ALevent structure initialized by alNextEvent(3dm)
                  or alCheckEvent(3dm).

DESCRIPTION
     alGetEventParam returns the parameter of the audio event from the ALevent
     structure.  The event parameter will dictate what type of event
     information is contained in the event.  Please refer to alParams(3dm) for
     a detailed list of return data types for parameters.


EXAMPLE
DIAGNOSTICS
     Upon successful completion, alGetEventParam returns an int whose value is
     one of the symbolic constants for an AL_PARAM.  Otherwise,
     alGetEventParam returns -1 and and sets an error number. This error
     number can be retrieved with oserror(3C).

     alGetEventParam can fail for the following reason:

     AL_BAD_INVALID_EVENT   event is invalid or null.
