-
- RtAudio is a set of C++ classes that provide a common API (Application Programming Interface) for realtime audio input/output across Linux, Macintosh OS-X and Windows operating systems. RtAudio significantly simplifies the process of interacting with computer audio hardware. It was designed with the following objectives:
-
- <UL>
- <LI>object-oriented C++ design</LI>
- <LI>simple, common API across all supported platforms</LI>
- <LI>only one source and two header files for easy inclusion in programming projects</LI>
- <LI>allow simultaneous multi-api support</LI>
- <LI>support dynamic connection of devices</LI>
- <LI>provide extensive audio device parameter control</LI>
- <LI>allow audio device capability probing</LI>
- <LI>automatic internal conversion for data format, channel number compensation, (de)interleaving, and byte-swapping</LI>
- </UL>
-
- RtAudio incorporates the concept of audio streams, which represent audio output (playback) and/or input (recording). Available audio devices and their capabilities can be enumerated and then specified when opening a stream. Where applicable, multiple API support can be compiled and a particular API specified when creating an RtAudio instance. See the \ref apinotes section for information specific to each of the supported audio APIs.

- \section whatsnew What's New (Version 4.0)
-
- RtAudio V4 represents a significant rewrite of the code and includes a number of API and functionality changes from previous versions. A partial list of the changes includes:
- - new support for non-interleaved user data
- - additional input/output parameter specifications, including channel offset
- - new support for dynamic connection of devices
- - new support for stream time
- - revised callback arguments, including separate input and output buffer arguments
- - revised C++ exception handling
- - updated support for OSS version 4.0
- - discontinued support of blocking functionality
- - discontinued support of SGI
-
- Devices are now re-enumerated every time the RtAudio::getDeviceCount(), RtAudio::getDeviceInfo(), and RtAudio::openStream() functions are called. This allows for the proper identification of hot-pluggable (USB, Firewire, ...) devices that are connected after an RtAudio instance is created.
