[chuck-dev] Asio Build and "Debug Assertion Failed" Error.

[Gary Scavone]

Hi Philippe,

The latest release of RtAudio is 3.0.3.  It was a minor update from  
3.0.2.  I am working on version 4.0, which will include a number of  
new features that will likely be of interest to ChucK users.  The  
main changes include:

- new support for non-interleaved user data
- additional input/output parameter specifications, including channel  
offset
- new support for dynamic connection of devices (like USB)
- new support for stream time
- revised callback arguments, including separate input and output  
buffer arguments
- revised C++ exception handling
- discontinued support of blocking functionality

There are a few API changes, mainly in the openStream() and callback  
functions.  The new stream parameters allow one to specify a channel  
"offset" on a multichannel device, for example, allowing you to use  
only channels 7 and 8 if desired.  I am also discontinuing support  
for the SGI "al" API, given that I cannot test it anymore.

I've finished the CoreAudio and Windows APIs (DirectSound and ASIO).   
As well, I've made a JACK interface that works in both OS-X and  
Linux.  However, I have yet to work on the ALSA and OSS  
implementations.  Given my current "to do" list, it is unlikely I  
will finish this up before the end of the summer.

So, if you're in a hurry, go with version 3.0.3 but keep in mind that  
you'll probably want to switch to 4.0 when it becomes available.

Regards,

--gary
