CPAL (Cross-Platform Audio Library) is a low-level, pure Rust library designed for audio input and output.
It provides developers with tools to interact with audio devices across multiple platforms, making it a versatile choice for building audio-related applications. Below is an overview of its key features, supported platforms, and usage.
CPAL_ASIO_DIR
environment variable to locate the ASIO SDK.To use CPAL, developers initialize a host, select an audio device, and configure an audio stream:
use cpal::traits::{HostTrait, DeviceTrait};
fn main() {
let host = cpal::default_host();
let device = host.default_output_device().expect("No output device available");
let config = device.default_output_config().unwrap();
println!("Using device: {}", device.name().unwrap());
}

on Debian/Ubuntu).CPAL is ideal for applications requiring precise control over audio streams, such as music players, audio editors, or real-time audio processing systems. Its low-level design ensures flexibility while maintaining cross-platform consistency.
