There is a cross-platform audio library for Rust: cpal https://github.com/rustaudio/cpal

Modify pitch and volume while a sound file is playing
I had to do something similar to this a while back. I used cpal.

What’s everyone working on this week (including AoC, 51/2021)?
Working on a live performance software that would let our band have live real-time practices over the internet. Top priority is minimum latency, so I'm trying to hook it up through ASIO. Not much luck yet. I've tried cpal, but I've run into numerous known random bugs (and some versions don't compile for me). At least I confirmed that I can push the audio through a TCP socket successfully.

Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (7/2021)!
you need to use a "loopback" device, as shown here - https://github.com/RustAudio/cpal/pull/478 (note, ive only tested this on windows - if its not supported on linux you could always plug your sound card output into its line-in/mic jack)

Resources for audio decoding?
If you're also interested in real-time disk streaming of audio then there's this crate (which uses symphonia for decoding): https://github.com/MeadowlarkDAW/creek.

Modify pitch and volume while a sound file is playing
Rodio is high level and likely not really suited to what you're trying to do. Rodio is nice if you just want to play sound files and don't care about the details. If you want to manipulate audio in realtime, Creek is likely a better fit. You can take a look how I am combining Creek and Rubato for realtime tempo changes in the DJ application I am writing.

What’s everyone working on this week (2/2022)?
I'm using this creek library from RustyDAW for realtime safe decoding of audio files. It can also record to WAV. It would likely be useful for project as well.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing cpal and creek you can also consider the following projects:
rodio - Rust audio playback library
swyh-rs - Stream What You Hear written in rust, inspired by SWYH.
rubato - An asyncronous resampling library written in Rust
