I was curious if anyone on the lists had seen/heard of any cross-platforming audio-recording components? Is there any thought to include any kind of wrappers for this in SDL 1.3/SDL_mixer? Given that voice-chat has become a MAJOR component in games, I’m finding that there are a limited number of cross-platforming API’s to handle this…
Thanks in advance,

I think what you seek is:
http://www.portaudio.com/
"PortAudio is a free, cross platform, open-source, audio I/O library.
It lets you write simple audio programs in ‘C’ that will compile and
run on many platforms including Windows, Macintosh (8,9,X), Unix
(OSS), SGI, and BeOS. PortAudio is intended to promote the exchange of
audio synthesis software between developers on different platforms.
“PortAudio provides a very simple API for recording and/or playing
sound using a simple callback function. Example programs are included
that synthesize sine waves and pink noise, perform fuzz distortion on
a guitar, list available audio devices, etc.”

We’re adding this for SDL 1.3.
For ioquake3’s VoIP support, I ended up using OpenAL’s ALC_EXT_capture
support, since the project already uses OpenAL for audio output (the SDL
target in ioq3 just simply doesn’t record at the moment).

What platforms will be officially supported, in terms of audio recording?

Presumably any that can record audio. 
My general attitude for SDL 1.3 is that new stuff should focus on Mac OS
X, Windows, and Linux at a minimum, and accept support for other
platforms when other people send patches. Things like the iPhone and the
Nintendo DS have microphones, but I don’t have the development
environments for them. When it comes to audio interfaces, just
supporting Linux can be a full time job.
Although, if my power API is any evidence, I’ll fill in BeOS and OS/2
implementations without even compiling them.

Just let us know when, and I’ll try compiling on Haiku. Although
Haiku doesn’t have media encoding yet, I suppose it may fall back to
BeOS compatibility mode.
