  Description     : A C++ library for realtime audio input/ouput

RtAudio is a set of C++ classes that provides a common API (Application
Programming Interface) for realtime audio input/output across Linux
(native ALSA, JACK, and OSS), Macintosh OS X, SGI, and Windows
(DirectSound and ASIO) operating systems.  RtAudio significantly
simplifies the process of interacting with computer audio hardware.  It
was designed with the following objectives:

  - object-oriented C++ design
  - simple, common API across all supported platforms
  - only one source and two header files for easy inclusion in
programming projects
  - allow simultaneous multi-api support
  - support dynamic connection of devices
  - provide extensive audio device parameter control
  - allow audio device capability probing
  - automatic internal conversion for data format, channel number
compensation, (de)interleaving, and byte-swapping

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.
