Any plans to get working on this again soon?

I know you are busy working on zig, but libsoundio is a very useful library and would like to see its development continued.

Getting all of the issues worked out and v2 released should be a priority imo. I don't want to plop my audio system ontop of a library that could end up abandoned in the future so any development would be nice.

Thanks :)

This library won't be abandoned and here's why:

  • It's a dependency of the music player that I use every day
  • It's a dependency of the digital audio workstation project that is still in progress, although I decided to create a programming language to write the DAW in (hence zig)

I do have a full time job, so things are going to move slowly. But my interests have not wavered. It's all part of the big plan...

Are there any issues with 1.1.0 that are show stoppers for you?

ok good to know. I don't currently have any issues as i haven't exactly started using it yet, but seems others have and i didn't want to start writing code that ill need to swap over at some point to v2.0 when its released.

Not like a real showstopper (because the ring buffer implementation can be replaced after all) but I would be very grateful if you could look into https://github.com/andrewrk/libsoundio/issues/160

Just fyi i've since switched to https://github.com/kinetiknz/cubeb due to the lack of support for this library by @andrewrk Since there hasn't been significant work on this library in 3 years and there are tons of unmerged pull requests i would suggest people move over to cubeb which is the audio output backend used and maintained for firefox.
