It supports:\n\n| Audio Framework | Operating System |\n|-----------------|------------------|\n| ALSA            | Linux            |\n| CoreAudio       | Mac OS           |\n| OSS             | POSIX            |\n| PulseAudio      | Linux            |\n| QSA             | QNX              |\n| XAudio2         | Windows          |\n\nSee the [ChangeLog](ChangeLog.md) for a description of the changes in the\nvarious releases.\n\n## Build Dependencies\n\nIn order to build the project, you need:\n\n1.  an autotools system (`make`, `autoconf`, `automake`, `libtool`\n    and `pkg-config`);\n2.  a C compiler (e.g. gcc or clang).\n\n\nOptionally, you need:\n\n1.  the alsa development libraries to enable alsa audio output;\n2.  the pulseaudio development library to enable pulseaudio output.\n\n### Debian\n\nCore dependencies:\n\n| Dependency | Install                                                          |\n|------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| autotools  | `sudo apt-get install make autoconf automake libtool pkg-config` |\n| c compiler | `sudo apt-get install gcc`                                       |\n\nOptional Libraries:\n\n| Dependency     | Install                                    |\n|----------------|--------------------------------------------|\n| alsa           | `sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev`      |\n| pulseaudio     | `sudo apt-get install libpulse-dev`        |\n\n### Mac OS\n\nTo enable CoreAudio output support you need to have the coreaudio framework on\nyour system. Installing XCode along with the Mac OS SDK is the recommended way\nof getting it. For Xcode on OS X 10.9 and earlier C11 compiler or newer is needed.\n\n### Windows\n\nSome of the Windo",
