miniaudio/README.md

mini_al is a simple library for playing and recording audio. It's focused on simplicity and has a very small number of APIs. This is not a full-featured audio library - it is intended to be used as a quick and easy way to connect to an audio device and deliver and capture audio data from speakers and microphones.

C/C++, single file, public domain.

Features

• Public domain
• Single file
• A very simple API

Simple Playback Example
