How Enterprise Security Is Adapting to AI-Accelerated Threats
Socket CTO Ahmad Nassri discusses why supply chain attacks now target developer machines and what AI means for the future of enterprise security.
rpaudio is a Rust-based Python library for handling audio operations, designed to provide simple and efficient audio management. It leverages Rust's performance and concurrency safety to offer a robust solution for Python audio applications.
Supports: MP3, WAV, Vorbis and Flac (mp4 + AAC will also be supported in a future release)
Python 3.8+
import rpaudio
import asyncio
from rpaudio import FadeIn, FadeOut, ChangeSpeed

No additional OS-level dependencies are required for rpaudio on Windows. Ensure you have the latest version of Python installed, and you can directly use pip to install the library:
pip install rpaudio
To install rpaudio on macOS, you need to install gettext:
Install gettext:
brew install gettext
brew link gettext --force
To install rpaudio on Linux, you may need to install some dependencies based on your distribution:
For Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y pkg-config libasound2-dev
For Red Hat/CentOS-based distributions:
sudo yum install -y pkg-config alsa-lib-devel
After installing the necessary OS-level dependencies, you can install rpaudio using pip:
pip install rpaudio
Please read CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines on how to contribute.
