Hi all:
I have written a cross-platform music player. (http://hypnosplayer.org). It
current relies upon VLC to do its audio-decoding, but I have some issues
there and I don't like using a library that's so heavy to decode audio.
I came across Sox as a potential suitable replacement, but I have no
familiarity with the project. Do you think it could be a good backend for
this project?
Thanks!
Josh Hartwell

I use it for dtas (duct-tape audio suite) which includes dtas-player and it's great (gapless playback, lots of formats and effects with live-EQ/compander/any-other-effects-supported-by-sox-or-ladspa): git clone https://80x24.org/dtas.git It's heavily-dependent on *nix pipes and process management, though. I assume libsox is nice for cross-platform use, too; since the sox(1) command uses it. But I prefer to do my work in scripting languages rather than C whenever possible. _______________________________________________ Sox-users mailing list Sox-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sox-users ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

It is a better way for audio than VLC. If you are interested in a more special way of "pure" audio, use a cross-plattform realtime project like rtaudio: http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~gary/rtaudio/ Regards Thomas > Am 2018-12-17 00:34, schrieb Joshua Hartwell: >> Hi all: >> >> I have written a cross-platform music player.
