kittyaudio is a Rust audio playback library focusing on simplicity, speed and low-latency audio playback.

Installation with cargo:

cargo add kittyaudio

Example

use kittyaudio::{include_sound, Mixer};

fn main() {
    // include a sound into the executable.
    // this type can be cheaply cloned.
    let sound = include_sound!("jump.ogg").unwrap();

    // create sound mixer
    let mut mixer = Mixer::new();
    mixer.init(); // use init_ex to specify settings

    let playing_sound = mixer.play(sound);
    playing_sound.set_volume(0.5); // decrease volume

    mixer.wait(); // wait for all sounds to finish
}

Features

• Low-latency audio playback
• Cross-platform audio playback (including wasm)
• Handle device changes or disconnects in real time
• Low CPU usage
• Minimal dependencies
• Minimal memory allocations
• No panic!() or .unwrap(), always propogate errors
• No unsafe code
• Simple API, while being customizable
• Optionally use Symphonia to support most audio formats

• Commands to change volume, playback rate, position and panning in the sound with easings
• Loops, and commands to change them with easings

Roadmap

Those features are not implemented yet.

• Effects (reverb, delay, eq, etc.)
