osgAudio

osgAudio is an OpenSceneGraph nodekit that wraps OpenAL and FMOD to enable sound toolkits in OSG. The osgAudio library is the result of collaborative work between Ames Lab, ARDEC, Chris Hanson (Alpha Pixel, LLC), and Paul Martz (Skew Matrix Software LLC). It's used as part of the VE-Suite project. osgAudio is open source and available under the GNU LGPL v2.1 software license.

Features

osgAudio supports a compile-time selectable audio back end, which determines support for speaker configurations and specific audio file formats. Common speaker configurations (stereo, 5.1 surround) and file formats (.wav) are supported by both the OpenAL and FMOD back ends (within the limits of OpenAL and FMOD).

Libraries

The osgAudio library Includes the following features:

Compile-time switchable audio back ends (OpenAL and FMOD currently supported).
Streaming audio.
Positionable listener and sound sources.
Ambient sounds and sound occlusion.
Attenuation and Doppler shifting.

Plugins

osgdb_osgAudio Dot OSG file format support for the nodes and objects in the osgAudio library.

Examples

The project contains a small collection of example programs to demonstrate use of many of osgAudio's features.

Tests

The project contains several test programs to ensure correct functionality. Some test programs are specific to the OpenAL/OpenAL++ backend, but equivalent non-backend-specific tests also are included.

Building

See the Installation page.
