## What it is
StreamingKit is an Objective-C audio playback and streaming library for iOS and macOS built on CoreAudio, with a clean object-oriented API for playing local and HTTP-streamed audio. It specializes in gapless playback across differing audio formats and extensible data sources with buffering, encryption, and auto-recovery support.

## Use cases
- stream mp3 audio over http in an ios app
- play music files with gapless transitions between tracks
- build a podcast player with buffered streaming on iphone
- apply an equalizer or level metering to audio playback
- intercept raw pcm audio data before playback
- play audio on macos with low cpu usage

## When to avoid
- you need a cross-platform audio player beyond apple platforms
- your project uses swift exclusively and you prefer a swift-native library
- you need video playback or advanced media formats outside coreaudio support
- you require actively maintained software with recent updates
