Crate alsa

Thin but safe wrappers for ALSA.

GitHub repo

Crates.io

This ALSA API wrapper/binding is WIP - the ALSA API is huge, and new functions and structs might be added as requested.

Most functions map 1-to-1 to alsa-lib functions, e g, ctl::CardInfo::get_id() is a wrapper around snd_ctl_card_info_get_id and the alsa-lib documentation can be consulted for additional information.

Enjoy!
