It uses either a callback mechanism to request audio processing, or blocking read/write calls to buffer data between the native audio subsystem and the client. Audio can be processed in various formats, including 32 bit floating point, and will be converted to the native format internally. Documentation: Documentation is available in "/doc/html/index.html" Also see "src/common/portaudio.h" for API spec. Also see http://www.portaudio.com/docs/ And see the "test/" directory for many examples of usage (we suggest "test/patest_saw.c" for an example) For information on compiling programs with PortAudio, please see the tutorial at: http://portaudio.com/trac/wiki/TutorialDir/TutorialStart We have an active mailing list for user and developer discussions.
