Audio Recording in C++

Question

Hey,

I was wondering, what was a good cross-platform utility for doing audio recording/ playback/ seeking in C++? I was thinking going the route of ALUT (OpenAL), but is there a better way? If not, do you guys know of any good tutorials/sample code for ALUT?

Answer 1

Qt actually has some audio functions since version 4.6.

Didn't try the input for myself, but if you scroll down a bit in the Qt-Documentation there is a basic example.

For Input you can work a layer higher with Qt. Here is an example.

Answer 2

SFML and SDL have support for playing many different sound formats and are cross plattform. Neither of them provides you with means for recording audio. Then there is PortAudio which looks pretty active but I do have no experience with it at all.
