Xylocopadream.Audio

Short sounds played at once and overlapping: key clicks, notes, game effects, notifications.

One output that never stops (silence when nothing plays) keeps the device awake: a sound starts at the next period, never clipped at its start. The sounds are decoded once (WAV), resampled to the rate of the mix and kept in mono 16 bits.

Package Output Platforms
Xylocopadream.Audio the player, the mixer, WAV decoding, resampling all (no dependency but logging abstractions)
Xylocopadream.Audio.MiniAudio MiniAudioOutput: miniaudio through SoundFlow, 10 ms periods Windows, Linux, macOS
Xylocopadream.Audio.Wasapi WasapiAudioOutput: WASAPI shared mode, event driven, 40 ms, through NAudio Windows (WPF, WinUI, MAUI, Avalonia)

Use

dotnet add package Xylocopadream.Audio.MiniAudio     # or Xylocopadream.Audio.Wasapi

// one for the app (a singleton): disposing it closes the device
var player = new SamplePlayer(new MiniAudioOutput(), name => Task.FromResult<Stream>(File.OpenRead(name)), logger);

// at startup, off the UI thread: opens the device (about half a second) and decodes the sounds
await player.PreloadAsync("sounds/ok.wav", "sounds/error.wav");

// at once, from any thread; sounds overlap
player.Play("sounds/ok.wav", volume: 0.8);

With dependency injection:

services.AddSingleton<IAudioOutput, MiniAudioOutput>();
services.AddSingleton(provider => new SamplePlayer(
    provider.GetRequiredService<IAudioOutput>(), OpenSound, provider.GetService<ILogger<SamplePlayer>>()));
  • Play on a sound not loaded yet starts loading it and skips it this time (a late sound is worse than none).
  • Without a device (none plugged, none allowed), IsAvailable is false and Play does nothing; the error is logged.
  • A sound that cannot be loaded is logged, left out, and loaded again when asked again.

Formats

WAV: PCM 8, 16, 24 or 32 bits, or 32-bit float, also in the extensible format; any number of channels (averaged to mono), any rate (resampled with a windowed sinc to SamplePlayer.DefaultSampleRate, 44100 Hz, unless another rate is given).

Your own output

Implement IAudioOutput: Start(IAudioSource) opens the device and reads the source (32-bit float, interleaved stereo) on the audio thread until disposed.
