cubeb-rs ISC License

A cross-platform audio library in Rust.

Features

Provides access to the following:

  • Multiple audio backends across multiple platforms. See here for details.
  • Enumeration of available audio devices.
  • Opening input, output and duplex audio streams with control over latency, sample rate, channel layout, state transitions, data handling and more.

Goals

Currently, cubeb-rs is based on a set of bindings to the original cubeb C++ library most notable for its use as the audio backend within Gecko, Mozilla's browser engine. The long-term goal for cubeb-rs is to become independent of the C++ library and provide a pure-Rust implementation down to the level of the platform API eventually replacing the original within Gecko where possible.

In order to achieve this goal cubeb-rs is structured in a manner that supports backend implementations in both pure-Rust and via bindings to the C++ implementation, allowing for progressive replacement. So far, pure-Rust implementations exist for:

The plan is to consolidate all cubeb-related projects (including backend implementations) under a single repository here in the near future.

While cubeb is primarily renown for its use within Gecko, contributions and use from projects outside of Gecko is very welcome.
