history

Project history and usage

DromeAudio is a small C++ audio manipulation and playback library with a sample player executable, CMake build files, and optional Ogg Vorbis, SDL, and ALSA support.

Project history

The public repository was created in April 2009. Its README describes a compact C++ API for loading, generating, processing, and playing audio, written by Josh Beam and distributed under a BSD-style license.

Adoption history

Evidence of broad adoption is thin, but the library was packaged by Homebrew and tagged through v0.3.0. The README says it was tested on Arch Linux/x86 and Mac OS X 10.6/x86-64, placing it in the small cross-platform C++ multimedia-library ecosystem of that era.

How it is used

DromeAudio can load and save WAV, load Ogg Vorbis, mix and play audio, apply dynamic effects such as pitch shifting, oscillators, and echo, and use reference-counted smart pointers for unused sounds. It builds out-of-source with CMake and points users to examples for sample code.

Why package nerds care

For package maintainers, DromeAudio is a tidy old-school C++ multimedia package: a small library, optional system audio dependencies, examples, documentation directory, and a single sample playback executable. Its value is more archival and dependency-graph oriented than ecosystem-shaping.

Timeline

  • 2009: Public joshb/DromeAudio repository created.
  • 2010-era: README documents Mac OS X 10.6 and Arch Linux testing targets.
  • 2015: Repository activity slows after the last public pushes.
  • 2026: Homebrew formula metadata references v0.3.0 from the GitHub tag.
