  "github_readme_excerpt": "# libcubeb - Cross-platform Audio I/O Library\n\n[![Build Status](https://github.com/mozilla/cubeb/actions/workflows/build.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/mozilla/cubeb/actions/workflows/build.yml)\n\n`libcubeb` is a cross-platform C library for high and low-latency audio input/output. It provides a simple, consistent API for audio playback and recording across multiple platforms and audio backends. It is written in C, C++ and Rust, with a C ABI and [Rust](https://github.com/mozilla/cubeb-rs) bindings. While originally written for use in the Firefox Web browser, a number of other software projects have adopted it.\n\n## Features\n\n- **Cross-platform support**: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and other platforms\n- **Versatile**: Optimized for low-latency real-time audio applications, or power efficient higher latency playback\n- **A/V sync**: Latency compensated audio clock reporting for easy audio/video synchronization\n- **Full-duplex support**: Simultaneous audio input and output, reclocked\n- **Device enumeration**: Query available audio devices\n- **Audio processing for speech**: Can use VoiceProcessing IO on recent macOS\n\n## Supported Backends \u0026 status\n\n| *Backend*         | *Support Level* | *Platform version* | *Notes*                                          |\n|-------------------|-----------------|--------------------|--------------------------------------------------|\n| PulseAudio (Rust) | Tier-1          |                    | Main Linux desktop backend                       |\n| AudioUnit (Rust)  | Tier-1          |                    | Main macOS backend                               |\n| WASAPI            | Tier-1          | Windows \u003e= 7       | Main Windows backend                             |\n| AAudio            | Tier-1          | Android \u003e= 8       | Main Android backend for most devices            |\n| OpenSL            | Tier-1          | Android \u003e= 2.3     | Android backend for older devices                |\n| OSS               | Tier-2          |        ",
