See alsoftrc.sample for available settings. +Language Bindings +----------------- + +As a C API, OpenAL Soft can be used directly by any language that can use +functions with C linkage. For languages that can't directly use C-style +headers, bindings may be developed to allow code written in that language to +call into the library. Some bindings for some languages are listed here. + +C# Bindings: +* [OpenTK](https://opentk.net/) includes low-level C# bindings for the OpenAL +API, including some extensions. It also includes utility libraries for math and +linear algebra, which can be useful for 3D calculations. + +Java Bindings: +* [JOAL](https://jogamp.org/joal/www/), part of the JogAmp project, includes +Java bindings for the OpenAL API, usable with OpenAL Soft. It also includes a +higher level Sound3D Toolkit API and utility functions to make easier use of +OpenAL features and capabilities. + +Python Bindings: +* [PyOpenAL](https://pypi.org/project/PyOpenAL/). Also includes methods to play +wave files and, with PyOgg, also Vorbis, Opus, and FLAC. + +Other bindings for these and other languages also exist. This list will grow as +more bindings are found. + + Acknowledgements ---------------- |
