A free wrapper for the OpenAL API cAudio is a free and open source, cross platform, advanced wrapper around the OpenAL API written in C++. cAudio was created with the idea of helping developers include 3d sound and effects into their programs as easily as possible. Here are some key features of "cAudio": · 2D Audio · 3D Audio · Audio Pitch control · Audio Directional control · Audio Velocity control · Listener orientation,position control · Doppler Effect · Audio looping · Multiple audio sources · Memory and streaming play back · Play, Pause, Stop Audio control · Easy to use Audio Manager · Effect extentions *ex. Distortion, Flanger · Audio Capturing · Built in threading · Thread safe · Override data source · Built in logging system · Event system · Plugin system · Mp3 Decoder Plugin · EAX Legacy Plugin · Memory Manager · Easily extended What's New in This Release: · All OpenAL "Effects Extension" audio effects and filters are now supported by the engine. This means you can easily drop in effects like EAX Reverberation, Distortion, Flanger into your application and attach them to any number of audio sources in your world. Use them to create the illusion of large caverns, or tiny hallways, or virtually any other environment. · Audio Capture is now supported. Stream audio from a microphone, line in, or virtually any other capture device into your application using a simple interface. · cAudio now uses multiple threads internally to handle loading and playback of sounds (as well as background capture of audio). cAudio is also now thread safe. · Ability for users to override where cAudio gets its file data for playing sources. Instead of only being able to get files from the hard drive or from a memory location in your program, you can now supply an interface for cAudio to use. Thus you can stream data into cAudio from virtually any location, whether that is a zip archive, TCP/IP stream, or Ogre/Irrlicht resource system. · New logging system with user definable log receivers, allowing the developer to have full control of where the log messages go. cAudio also provides default console and html file log receivers. · New Event system. cAudio can now automatically call functions in your code when certain events happen in the engine. For example, you can get an event when a source stops playback. · New Plugin System. This system supports both dynamically linked libraries and static plugin definitions. Plugins have full control of the engine and can be used to add new audio decoders, log receivers, data sources, and act upon events in the engine. · New MP3 Decoder plugin. Many of our users have been asking for mp3 playback capability and now it is offered as an official plugin. · New EAX Legacy Preset plugin. Offers all of the classic EAX Legacy presets for EAX Reverberation effects. This makes it easy to drop in an reverberation effect that sounds close to the environment you are modeling and then tweak it later. · Several new examples to show off the new features of the engine. · Advanced Memory Manager. Major changes: · The Audio Playback Manager is no longer a singleton. It must be created using the createAudioManager() API function. This is to support the possibility of multiple playback managers someday in the future, though this feature is not currently supported. · A 3D vector class is now provided by the engine and is required by several API functions. This means no more entering 3 floats into a function constantly. · Several components of the library are now reference counted. This is to ease issues when the user may want to retain an object even after they remove it from the engine, as well as make deletion of unused objects easier internally. · A cross platform sleep function is included for example usage. · The Audio source class has been renamed from cAudio to cAudioSource. · Added a global include file "cAudio.h" that will automatically include all the major headers in the engine.
