Rodio is a Rust audio playback and recording library built on top of cpal, with format decoding via Symphonia or optional decoders for FLAC, MP3, Vorbis, and WAV. It provides a simple high-level API for playing sounds in applications and games.

Use cases

• play sound effects in a Rust game
• play music files like mp3 or flac from my app
• add audio playback to a Rust desktop application
• decode and play wav and ogg files in Rust
• record audio from the microphone in Rust
• simple audio engine for a game engine written in Rust

When to choose

• you need easy audio playback in a Rust application or game
• you want support for common audio formats with optional decoders
• you want a high-level API over cpal without managing audio streams yourself

When to avoid

• you need advanced audio synthesis, DSP, or DAW-grade processing
• you need multi-track mixing with fine-grained low-level control
• you target CPUs without f32 support or 32-bit atomic operations
