The Portable C Audio Library (pcaudiolib) provides a C API to different audio devices. It supports:

| Audio Framework | Operating System | |=================|==================| | ALSA | Linux | | OSS | POSIX | | PulseAudio | Linux | | QSA | QNX | | XAudio2 | Windows |

See the CHANGELOG for a description of the changes in the various releases.

Build Dependencies

In order to build the project, you need:

1. a functional autotools system (make, autoconf, automake, libtool and pkg-config);
2. a functional c compiler (e.g. gcc or clang).

NOTE: Some of the Windows SDK APIs (e.g. the XAudio2 headers) don't compile with a C compiler, so a C++ compiler is needed to compile them.

Optionally, you need:

1. the alsa development libraries to enable alsa audio output;
2. the pulseaudio development library to enable pulseaudio output.

Debian

Core dependencies:

Dependency	Install
autotools	sudo apt-get install make autoconf automake libtool pkg-config
c compiler	sudo apt-get install gcc

Optional Libraries:

Dependency	Install
alsa	sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev
pulseaudio	sudo apt-get install libpulse-dev

Building

This project uses a standard autotools build system with an autogen.sh script. You can thus build the project using:

./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
make

and install it using:

sudo make install
