RtAudio - a set of C++ classes which provide a common API for realtime audio input/output across Linux (native ALSA, JACK, PulseAudio, and OSS), Macintosh OS X (CoreAudio and JACK), and Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) operating systems.

+WINDOWS USERS:
RtAudio compiles with the MinGW compiler or MS Visual Studio.
-Visual C++ 6.0 project files are included for the test programs in the /tests/Windows/ directory. These projects compile API support for both ASIO and DirectSound. Version 4.0 of RtAudio was tested with the .net compiler and it will not compile in Visual C++ 6.0 because of its non-conformance to modern C++ standards.
+Visual C++ 6.0 project files (very old) are included for the test programs in the /tests/Windows/ directory. These projects compile API support for both ASIO and DirectSound.

+LINUX OSS:

+The OSS API support in RtAudio has not been tested for many years. I'm not even sure there are OSS drivers supporting recent linux kernels. In all likelihood, the OSS API code in RtAudio will disappear within the next year or two (if you don't want this to happen, let me know).
