Looks very interesting, I might switch from PortAudio to this for my project. But I think I'll wait a bit though, I'm not quite ready to give up on WinXP/Vista

- pierrec 11y agoIt relies on WASAPI for Windows, so it should work on Vista which is the first version to introduce that API (unless I missed another requirement). And as a side note, that is definitely the way to go. WASAPI is a massive improvement over previous windows audio APIs, especially for low latency / pro audio. I'm flabbergasted that some DAWs still don't support it.
- robhack 11y agoI'm confused, does it support Vista? The PortAudio comparison made me believe it doesn't, as this is written in PortAudio's pros : « Supports older versions of Windows than Windows 7. » [1] [1] https://github.com/andrewrk/libsoundio/wiki/libsoundio-vs-PortAudio https://github.com/andrewrk/libsoundio/wiki/libsoundio-vs-Po...
- AndyKelley 11y agoI've only tested on Windows 7, but looking over the API functions I used, I could probably relax the restriction to Vista. I'm not sure I'd be willing to extend testing and support to Vista without getting some funding. It feels harsh to say, but I have ambitious plans which will be stalled if I git bogged down with deprecated and proprietary software.
