Awesome library

|OpenAL
OpenAL is easy to work with, has fewer lines of code to write (as opposed to ALSA though with fewer options) and, more importantly, works on Windows and Linux

What is OpenAL?

OpenAL (Open Audio Library) is a cross-platform audio API designed for rendering multichannel 3D positional audio. It is intended for use in various audio applications, especially within the gaming industry, to provide a rich audio experience by delivering spatial audio effects. OpenAL works similarly to OpenGL, but for audio data, enabling users to create and manipulate sound in a 3D space. It is available on multiple operating systems, making it a versatile choice for developers seeking consistent audio playback across various platforms.
