Allegro audio stream outputs no sound

I'm having a problem implementing audio playback via a stream with allegro. The audio stream initializes, loads the audio (a .wav file) and al_get_audio_stream_playing doe return true but there is no sound whatsoever. al_get_audio_stream_fragment also returns a valid pointer for the subsequent stream fragments. Here are the functions that I call for this to happen.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Your feedback would be gladly appreciated.
Thanks.

Update Fixed it.
