Audio APIs for Windows XP [modified] [Solved]

[mk_4]

Hi, I'm going to write small app ( in C++) for creating music, which would work under Win Xp, and I need some means for playing samples and streaming raw audio data. I've looked up for some audio apis but I have no idea which one would be the best to perform this task. I've found some info about core audio APIs and I think that they would be right choose for my app. Unfortunately, as I know, they are just available for Vista and probably Win 7. That's why I would be grateful if you could give me some alternatives for this API (It also can be some cross-platform API). Thanks in advance for help.

See http://www.portaudio.com. For low latency use ASIO - You will probably want ASIO4ALL http://www.asio4all.com/ if you have a 'consumer' grade audio interface. HTH Jerry

Thanks for that, but I forgot to mantion that I want to write in C++ rather than C. So I would need some c++ API. Heh, I've just realised that ASIO is an API. So, thank you one more time for help.
