macOS Input / Output audio stream on Mac OS X

[deathiop]

Hello everybody,

I search what file I can read or write with a small C program, to record or play sounds on my Mac.
After a lot of requests to my friend Google, I know that these files exists on Linux :

• /dev/audio
• /dev/sound

But, I read that they don't exist on Mac OS ; and obviously, there is none of these files in my /dev.

Another thing I read is that there is something called "CoreAudio". But the Apple Core Audio's web page show a pop-up warning that we should not use it to develop new programs.

So ... how can I do that ? I don't find other information so I need some help.

Could you help me ? 🙂

Deathiop.

PS : I'm french, sorry for all the mistakes I did.

Exactly which web page does that? Post the URL.

I guess he means this page, which states that "The information in this document is obsolete and should not be used for new development." (and, of course, note "I'm french, sorry for all the mistakes I did.")

To the original poster: it's just that documentation that's out of date. Use this page instead.

does anyone have experience with Core Audio? I'm looking to record the systems output, but don't know where to start.
