DESCRIPTION

roar_vs_read() reads data from the sound server into buffer buf.

roar_vs_write() writes data in buffer buf to the sound server.

PARAMETERS

vss
The VS object data is read from or written to.

buf
The buffer to read to or write from.

len
The length of the data to be read or written in byte.

error
This is a pointer to a integer used to store the error value in case of error. This can be NULL if not used but it is very recommended to use this error value to report good error messages to the user.
