= ruby/audio

This module and its classes are provided for the purpose of aiding in the manipulation of audio data. The core is the Audio::Sound class, which is a subclass of NArray. Also provided is the Audio::Soundfile class, which is a wrapper around the wonderful libsndfile.

== About This Release

This is the a bugfix release of the initial release of ruby/audio. The API can be considered relatively stable, barring the discovery of fundamental design flaws. More methods may be added, but backwards compatibility will be strived for. However, if you rely on the existing API and would like to ensure compatibility, drop me a line. If I know people are using it, I will be more careful not to break things.

Please send me feedback if you find a bug, find the API awkward, or just like/hate it.

Next on my list is to wrap libsamplerate, adapt ladspar[http://rubyforge.org/projects/ladspar] to use Audio::Sound, and perhaps wrap portaudio.
