  • Yew + Tauri WASM Desktop App - Methods of Local Filesystem Access
    1 project | /r/rust | 4 Jul 2023
    I'm currently working on creating a desktop app with web UI using Yew (wasm32-unknown-unknown), and Tauri for the desktop packaging side of things. In this particular case, I'd like to be able to play audio files from the user's local filesystem using the rodio crate, and also to process text files for purposes such as configuration, for example by using the csv crate. I know for absolute certain that the app will only be run in a desktop context, i.e, Windows, Linux and MacOS, and therefore will always have a filesystem physically existent despite any WASM sandboxing (which I'm aware of, hence asking for any possible methods).

  • An alternative to FFmpeg?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 24 Mar 2023
    There's symphonia for audio, although it's quite low-level. rodio is a better choice if you just want to play some sounds.
  • Introducing the Music Player: A High-Performance, Extensible Application for Digital Audio Playback
    7 projects | dev.to | 17 Jan 2023
    The Music Player is based on Rodio, which is a high-performance audio playback library for Rust, and Symphonia, which is a Rust library for working with music metadata and audio decoding. This allows the Music Player to provide high-quality audio playback and management.
  • What is the simplest way to play an audio sample, across platforms, including web?
    1 project | /r/rust | 15 Oct 2022
    https://crates.io/crates/rodio Its based on cpal and has basic necessities like resampler.
  • Dungeoncrawler audio
    1 project | /r/rust_gamedev | 21 Jun 2022
    I believe rodio is generally regarded as a good spot to start for audio in Rust. Open Game Art has a fair few tilesets, you could take a look there.
  • Modify pitch and volume while a sound file is playing
    4 projects | /r/rust | 6 Mar 2022
    I have tried the https://crates.io/crates/rodio crate already but I did not find a way to change the parameters while the background thread is playing the song.
  • Streaming Youtube Audio/Video with Rust
    4 projects | /r/rust | 11 Oct 2021
    I changed into mp3 cuz I didn't know how to use rodio to play other file format like m4a, because it needed symphonia and I could'nt find any example of symphonia on the internet.
  • Symphonia v0.3: pure-Rust decoders for MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC
    4 projects | /r/rust | 29 Jun 2021
    Also, you can now use Symphonia as a backend in rodio.

  • allen 0.2.0 released: modern OpenAL bindings
    1 project | /r/rust | 11 Dec 2022
    A while back I was trying to use OpenAL for a game project and found frustration with the lack of usable bindings. There was of course [alto](https://https://crates.io/crates/alto), but it’s been unmaintained for about 3 years and was on it’s way out the door due to dependency on parking_lot. I just recently renovated this bindings crate I made and (hopefully) made it safer. Not sure how well it actually works outside my own use case. Still new to actually publishing crates. Enjoy!
  • What audio library to use?
    4 projects | /r/rust | 4 Jan 2021
    That may work, but I haven't tried it since its LGPL licence. I'm using the alto crate and now that I've checked its repository is archived https://github.com/jpernst/alto
