void al_rest(double seconds)
Waits for the specified number seconds. This tells the system to pause the current thread for the given amount of time. With some operating systems, the accuracy can be in the order of 10ms. That is, even
al_rest(0.000001)might pause for something like 10ms. Also see the section
