PORTAUDIO
Cross-platform C API for real-time audio input and output
MIT
ABOUT
Real-time capture and playback APIs differ on every OS. PortAudio wraps Core Audio, WASAPI, ALSA, and JACK into one C callback API so speech tools, DAWs, and native ML demos stream audio without a backend per platform.
INTEGRATION GUIDE
1. Capture microphone input for a local speech or TTS pipeline
2. Play model audio samples from a cross-platform C or C++ app
3. Write one audio callback that runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux
4. Back Python bindings such as PyAudio without owning OS backends
