# 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.

## 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++.
|
