Question: Which audio API do you think is the best and why ?
Asked by remi (80.82.232.x) on July 25 2009, 1:44am

    Umm, "audio API" is pretty vague. I'll assume you mean CoreAudio vs OSS vs ALSA vs JACK vs MME vs DirectSound vs WDMKS vs WASAPI vs ASIO.

    I haven't worked with JACK. It may be a pleasure, but I can't say.

    I'll go with ASIO. It's pretty straightforward to implement on both the driver and application side, and performs well. The downside is of course that these days it's only really available on Windows, and the license for the SDK is generally incompatible with GPL software.
