Oto is a low-level Go library for playing sound across many platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, mobile, WebAssembly, and even game consoles. It provides a single audio Context from which any number of Players read PCM bytes from io.Readers and play them.

Use cases

  • play sound effects in a Go game
  • play an mp3 file from memory in Go
  • stream audio from a file in a cross-platform Go app
  • add audio output to a Go mobile app
  • play audio in a WebAssembly Go application

When to choose

  • you need cross-platform audio playback in Go with minimal dependencies
  • you want no-Cgo audio on desktop platforms
  • you are building a game or multimedia app with Ebitengine or similar

When to avoid

  • you need high-level audio features like mixing, effects, or decoding many formats
  • you need audio recording or capture, not just playback
  • you are not using Go
