portaudio (cross-platform audio I/O library) PortAudio provides a very simple API for recording and/or playing sound using a simple callback function or a blocking read/write interface. Example programs are included that play sine waves, process audio input (guitar fuzz), record and playback audio, list available audio devices, etc. By default, the example programs are not installed. To include them in the package, run the script with EXAMPLES=yes set in the environment. Optional dependency: jack (autodetected).
