# PortAudio - Portable Audio Library

PortAudio is a cross platform, open-source, audio I/O library proposed by Ross Bencina to the music-dsp mailing list. It lets you write simple audio programs in 'C' that will compile and run on Windows, Macintosh, Unix, BeOS. PortAudio is intended to promote the exchange of audio synthesis software between developers on different platforms.
