## Why libsoundio?
* [PortAudio](http://www.portaudio.com/)
- It does not support [PulseAudio](http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/).
- It logs messages to stdio and you can't turn that off.
- It is not written by me.
* [rtaudio](https://www.music.mcgill.ca/~gary/rtaudio/)
- It is not a C library.
- It uses [exceptions](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1736146/why-is-exception-handling-bad).
- It is not written by me.
* [SDL](https://www.libsdl.org/)
- It comes with a bunch of other baggage - display, windowing, input
handling, and lots more.
- It is not designed with real-time low latency audio in mind.
- Listing audio devices is [broken](https://github.com/andrewrk/node-groove/issues/13).
- It does not support recording devices.
- It is not written by me.
