# SDL_mixer 3.0

This is an audio management library. It provides decoding of many popular audio
file formats, mixing, various DSP processing effects and positional audio.

Audio data can be preloaded, or streamed on-the-fly into the mixer.

SDL3_mixer supports multiple audio devices, and can even mix to a memory buffer
instead of feeding audio hardware in real time.

SDL3_mixer is a complete redesign, rewritten almost from scratch to address
deficiencies in SDL2_mixer. The API is completely different and, in our
opinion, a significant improvement in power and ease of use. Please refer to
docs/README-migration.md for details on how to migrate your program to the new
API.

The latest version of this library is available from GitHub:
https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_mixer/releases

Installation instructions and a quick introduction is available in
[INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md)

This library is distributed under the terms of the zlib license,
available in [LICENSE.txt](LICENSE.txt).

Enjoy!
