SDL_mixer 3.0

This is an audio management library. It provides decoding of many popular audio file formats, mixing, various DSP processing effects and positional audio.

Audio data can be preloaded, or streamed on-the-fly into the mixer.

SDL3_mixer supports multiple audio devices, and can even mix to a memory buffer instead of feeding audio hardware in real time.

SDL3_mixer is a complete redesign, rewritten almost from scratch to address deficiencies in SDL2_mixer. The API is completely different and, in our opinion, a significant improvement in power and ease of use. Please refer to docs/README-migration.md for details on how to migrate your program to the new API.

SDL3_mixer requires SDL 3.4.0 or later.

The latest version of this library is available from GitHub: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_mixer/releases

Installation instructions and a quick introduction is available in INSTALL.md

This library is distributed under the terms of the zlib license, available in LICENSE.txt.

Enjoy!
