cubeb-rs
A cross-platform audio library in Rust.
Features
Provides access to the following:
- Multiple audio backends across multiple platforms. See here for details.
- Enumeration of available audio devices.
- Opening input, output and duplex audio streams with control over latency, sample rate, channel layout, state transitions, data handling and more.
Goals
Currently, cubeb-rs is based on a set of bindings to the original cubeb C++ library most notable for its use as the audio backend within Gecko, Mozilla's browser engine. The long-term goal for cubeb-rs is to become independent of the C++ library and provide a pure-Rust implementation down to the level of the platform API eventually replacing the original within Gecko where possible.
In order to achieve this goal cubeb-rs is structured in a manner that supports backend implementations in both pure-Rust and via bindings to the C++ implementation, allowing for progressive replacement. So far, pure-Rust implementations exist for:
- CoreAudio https://github.com/mozilla/cubeb-coreaudio-rs
- PulseAudio https://github.com/mozilla/cubeb-pulse-rs
The plan is to consolidate all cubeb-related projects (including backend implementations) under a single repository here in the near future.
While cubeb is primarily renown for its use within Gecko, contributions and use from projects outside of Gecko is very welcome.
