 With version 3.0, it is now possible to compile multiple API support on a given platform and to specify an API choice during class instantiation.

 The first thing that must be done when using <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> is to create an instance of the class. The default constructor scans the underlying audio system to verify that at least one device is available. <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> often uses C++ exceptions to report errors, necessitating try/catch blocks around most member functions.

 API Notes</a></h2>
 <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> is designed to provide a common API across the various supported operating systems and audio libraries. Despite that, some issues should be mentioned with regard to each.<h3><a class="anchor" name="linux">
 Linux:</a></h3>
 <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> for Linux was developed under Redhat distributions 7.0 - Fedora. Three different audio APIs are supported on Linux platforms: OSS, <a href="http://www.alsa-project.org/">ALSA</a>, and <a href="http://jackit.sourceforge.net/">Jack</a>. The OSS API has existed for at least 6 years and the Linux kernel is distributed with free versions of OSS audio drivers. Therefore, a generic Linux system is most likely to have OSS support (though the availability and quality of OSS drivers for new hardware is decreasing). The ALSA API, although relatively new, is now part of the Linux development kernel and offers significantly better functionality than the OSS API. <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> provides support for the 1.0 and higher versions of ALSA. Jack, which is still in development, is a low-latency audio server, written primarily for the GNU/Linux operating system. It can connect a number of different applications to an audio device, as well as allow them to share audio between themselves. Input/output latency on the order of 15 milliseconds can typically be achieved using any of the Linux APIs by fine-tuning the <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> buffer parameters (without kernel modifications). Latencies on the order of 5 milliseconds or less can be achieved using a low-latency kernel patch and increasing FIFO scheduling priority. The pthread library, which is used for callback functionality, is a standard component of all Linux distributions.<p>
 The ALSA library includes OSS emulation support. That means that you can run programs compiled for the OSS API even when using the ALSA drivers and library. It should be noted however that OSS emulation under ALSA is not perfect. Specifically, channel number queries seem to consistently produce invalid results. While OSS emulation is successful for the majority of <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> tests, it is recommended that the native ALSA implementation of <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> be used on systems which have ALSA drivers installed.<p>

 The ALSA implementation of <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> makes no use of the ALSA "plug" interface. All necessary data format conversions, channel compensation, de-interleaving, and byte-swapping is handled by internal <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> routines.<p>
 The Jack API is based on a callback scheme. <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> provides blocking functionality, in addition to callback functionality, within the context of that behavior. It should be noted, however, that the best performance is achieved when using RtAudio's callback functionality with the Jack API. At the moment, only one <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> instance can be connected to the Jack server. Because <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> does not provide a mechanism for allowing the user to specify particular channels (or ports) of a device, it simply opens the first <em>N</em> enumerated Jack ports for input/output.<h3><a class="anchor" name="macosx">

 Windows (DirectSound):</a></h3>
 In order to compile <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> under Windows for the DirectSound API, you must have the header and source files for DirectSound version 5.0 or higher. As far as I know, there is no DirectSoundCapture support for Windows NT. Audio output latency with DirectSound can be reasonably good (on the order of 20 milliseconds). On the other hand, input audio latency tends to be terrible (100 milliseconds or more). Further, DirectSound drivers tend to crash easily when experimenting with buffer parameters. On my system, I found it necessary to use values around nBuffers = 8 and bufferSize = 512 to avoid crashes. <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> was originally developed with Visual C++ version 6.0.<h3><a class="anchor" name="windowsasio">

 Windows (ASIO):</a></h3>
 The Steinberg ASIO audio API is based on a callback scheme. In addition, the API allows only a single device driver to be loaded and accessed at a time. ASIO device drivers must be supplied by audio hardware manufacturers, though ASIO emulation is possible on top of systems with DirectSound drivers. The <em>numberOfBuffers</em> parameter to the <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html#a4">RtAudio::openStream()</a> function has no affect in this implementation.<p>
 A number of ASIO source and header files are required for use with <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a>. Specifically, an <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> project must include the following files: <code>asio.h,cpp; asiodrivers.h,cpp; asiolist.h,cpp; asiodrvr.h; asiosys.h; ginclude.h; iasiodrv.h</code>.

 The <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> API incorporates many of the concepts developed in the PortAudio project by Phil Burk and Ross Bencina. Early development also incorporated ideas from Bill Schottstaedt's sndlib. The CCRMA SoundWire group provided valuable feedback during the API proposal stages.<p>
 The early 2.0 version of <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> was slowly developed over the course of many months while in residence at the Institut Universitari de L'Audiovisual (IUA) in Barcelona, Spain and the Laboratory of Acoustics and Audio Signal Processing at the Helsinki University of Technology, Finland. Much subsequent development happened while working at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University.
