What's the current recommended way to read and write audio files?
I don't need to play it on the speakers or deal with anything real time - just read a file's data into an array, fiddle with it, and write it out to a file.
I found some other threads about audio files, but none recent, mentioning SDL and OpenAL. Are these still the way to go? I'm thinking I should avoid SDL since it does far more than audio, none of which I care about. OpenAL also does way more than I care about, but at least is just audio.
For my application, I need to read a few of the common formats, such as .wav, .au, .mp3, .ogg and whatever else is popular. I only need to write .wav but other audio tinkerers may want to write other formats.
