  1. /*! \mainpage The RtAudio Home Page
  2. 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:
  3. <UL>
  4. <LI>object-oriented C++ design</LI>
  5. <LI>simple, common API across all supported platforms</LI>
  6. <LI>only one source and one header file for easy inclusion in programming projects</LI>
  7. <LI>allow simultaneous multi-api support</LI>
  8. <LI>support dynamic connection of devices</LI>
  9. <LI>provide extensive audio device parameter control</LI>
  10. <LI>allow audio device capability probing</LI>
  11. <LI>automatic internal conversion for data format, channel number compensation, (de)interleaving, and byte-swapping</LI>
  12. </UL>
  13. 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.
