  14. <h3 align="center">4.0.4 </h3><a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> 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 (DirectSound and ASIO) operating systems. <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> significantly simplifies the process of interacting with computer audio hardware. It was designed with the following objectives:<p>
  15. <ul>
  16. <li>
  17. object-oriented C++ design </li>
  18. <li>
  19. simple, common API across all supported platforms </li>
  20. <li>
  21. only one source and two header files for easy inclusion in programming projects </li>
  22. <li>
  23. allow simultaneous multi-api support </li>
  24. <li>
  25. support dynamic connection of devices </li>
  26. <li>
  27. provide extensive audio device parameter control </li>
  28. <li>
  29. allow audio device capability probing </li>
  30. <li>
  31. automatic internal conversion for data format, channel number compensation, (de)interleaving, and byte-swapping </li>
  32. </ul>
  33. <p>
  34. <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> 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 <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> instance. See the <a class="el" href="apinotes.html">API Notes</a> section for information specific to each of the supported audio APIs.<h2><a class="anchor" name="whatsnew">
  35. What's New (Version 4.0)</a></h2>
  36. <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> 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:<ul>
  37. <li>new support for non-interleaved user data</li><li>additional input/output parameter specifications, including channel offset</li><li>new support for dynamic connection of devices</li><li>new support for stream time</li><li>revised callback arguments, including separate input and output buffer arguments</li><li>revised C++ exception handling</li><li>updated support for OSS version 4.0</li><li>discontinued support of blocking functionality</li><li>discontinued support of SGI</li></ul>
  38. <p>
  39. Devices are now re-enumerated every time the <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html#a3">RtAudio::getDeviceCount()</a>, <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html#a4">RtAudio::getDeviceInfo()</a>, and <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html#a7">RtAudio::openStream()</a> functions are called. This allows for the proper identification of hot-pluggable (USB, Firewire, ...) devices that are connected after an <a class="el" href="classRtAudio.html">RtAudio</a> instance is created.<h2><a class="anchor" name="download">
