irrKlang, the free high level 2D and 3D cross platform sound engine and audio library has just been released in version 0.5. It is now available for Windows as well as for Linux.
irrKlang is a powerful high level API for playing back sound in 3D and 2D applications like games, scientific visualizations and multimedia applications. It is a cross platform 2D and 3D sound engine and audio library, written and usable in C++ and provides useful features like lots of built-in file format decoders (wav, ogg, mp3,...), a sophisticated streaming engine, extendable audio reading, single and multithreading modes, 3d audio emulation for low end hardware, a plugin system, multiple rolloff models and more. All this can be accessed via an extremely simple API using a similar object orientated design like known from the Irrlicht Engine. And best of all, it is free as in beer.
irrKlang is being developed by the Irrlicht Engine team, but is totally independend of the 3D engine.
