-
r8brain-free-src
High-quality pro audio resampler / sample rate conversion C++ library. Very fast, for both audio resampling and time-series interpolation. -
algore
Tasty C++ class wrappers and mixer implementation for OpenAL built on Chris Robinson's ALURE library. Comes with some crunky LinkedList and ListItem classes which you are welcome to use or change. Use with ALURE, OpenAL, libsndfile / libFLAC etc. Provides a simple and effective programmer interface to easily deal with the ALURE libraries and implements ALURE on Windows and Linux. Effectively uses both the one-off and streaming capabilities of OpenAL/ALURE and via libsndfile libflac et al supports a wide variety of sound file formats. -
Vorbis
Ogg Vorbis is a fully open, non-proprietary, patent-and-royalty-free, general-purpose compressed audio format. [BSD] -
FMOD
An easy to use crossplatform audio engine and audio content creation tool for games. [Free for non-commercial/Commercial]
