- Major Features
+ |
+ Flexible and Modular API
+
+ miniaudio gives you complete flexibility. With the low level API, just initialize a connection
+ to the device and send or receive raw audio data. The modular design of miniaudio allows you to
+ use the low level API without compromising your ability to make use of other features like the
+ node graph and resource manager.
+
+ |
+
|
+ Advanced Mixing and Effect Processing
+
+ miniaudio's node graph system gives you an easy way to set up advanced mixing and effect
+ graphs. Each node sends it's output to another node, and so on and so forth to produce all
+ kinds of effects. You can even implement your own custom nodes and plug them in however you
+ like. Plug multiple nodes into the same input node for mixing and use the splitter node for
+ complex routing.
+
+ |
+
|
+ Resource Management
+
+ The resource manager is used for simplifying the hassle of dealing with the loading and management
+ of your audio resources. It will reference count files so they're only loaded once and handles
+ streaming of large audio sources to save on memory. It can even load files asynchronously and
+ exposes it's job system so you can handle resource management jobs from your existing job
+ infrastructure.
+
+ |
+
|
+ High Level Audio Engine
+
+ The high level audio engine in miniaudio encapsulates the resource manager and node graph to give
+ you an easy to use API to manage sounds within a 3D scene with spatialization. The engine is a
+ node graph, and each sound in the scene is a node within that graph which means you can take
+ advantage of miniaudio's graph based effect processing and routing infrastructure.

- And best of all, it's free and open-source!
