libsoundio

C library which provides cross-platform audio input and output. The API is suitable for real-time software such as digital audio workstations as well as consumer software such as music players.

This library is an abstraction; however it prioritizes performance and power over API convenience. Features that only exist in some sound backends are exposed.

This library is a work-in-progress.

How It Works

libsoundio tries these backends in order. If unable to connect to that backend, due to the backend not being installed, or the server not running, or the platform is wrong, the next backend is tried.

  1. JACK
  2. PulseAudio
  3. ALSA (Linux)
  4. CoreAudio (OSX)
  5. ASIO (Windows)
  6. DirectSound (Windows)
  7. OSS (BSD)
  8. Dummy

Contributing

libsoundio is programmed in a tiny subset of C++:

  • No STL.
  • No new or delete.
  • No class. All fields in structs are public.
  • No exceptions or run-time type information.
  • No references.
  • No linking against libstdc++.

  8. OSS (BSD)
