Do you know any other one?

We may also want to consider:
https://www.videolan.org/vlc/libvlc.html

It may be overkill for our needs, (we also may want to consider the implications of its license) but seems to have robust support for 3d sound, media streaming, and filter effects if we choose to implement a subset of WebAudio.

@Drigax Looks interesting for video playback support as well. I'm curious about the footprint on mobile.

Project Name	Link To Project	Does it implement an audio backend or directly interact with OS-included backends?	Does it implement DSP Effects?	Does it use a modular or node-based processing pipeline?	What does it do?	Windows/Win32	Windows/UWP	Android	MacOS	iOS	Linux	License	Notes
Chromium	https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src	✅	✅	✅	Full browser implementation. Includes implementations for WebAudio API with platform audio backends	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅		This is our gold standard (because it pretty much is the standard.) Supports all the funtionality of WebAudio without additional dependencies, and works as a full multimedia backend.
SoLoud	https://github.com/jarikomppa/soloud	❌	✅	❌	Portable audio processing library with extensible backend support	❔	❔	❔	❔	❔	❔	Zlib	This isn't necessarily an all-in-one solution, as it relies on pulling in an audio backend as a dependency. However it has a number of audio effects implemented to support the subset of WebAudio that we need to implement.
libSDL	https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL	✅	❌	❌	Low level cross-platform I/O interface	✅	❔	✅	✅	✅	✅	Zlib	This is more than just a cross platform audio backend (and interface to other desired backends), this library aims to solve multiple cross platform I/O issues such as input/haptics, graphics, sensors, file system access, etc…
Resonance Audio	https://github.com/resonance-audio/resonance-audio	❌	✅	✅	Audio processing library with node graph and a wide library of built-in DSP effects	❔	❔	❔	❔	❔	❔	Apache 2	This is a DSP middleware package. While it should support the functionality of WebAudio, it requires pulling in an audio backend implementation
JACK	https://github.com/jackaudio/jack2	❌	❌	❌	Audio server that allows for inter-process audio routing.	❔	❔	❔	❔	❔	❔		This isn't an audio processing engine, or backend. JACK is an audio server that allows audio to be sent between processes ex: sending audio from one DAW to another that doesn't explicitly support each other. This doesn't seem useful for this usecase, but this is useful to list so its not misconstrued.
MiniAudio	https://github.com/mackron/miniaudio#supported-platforms	✅	⚠️	❌	Single-file crossplatform audio I/O	✅	❔	✅	✅	✅	✅	Public Domain OR MIT	This is a minimalist, single file audio engine with built in support for OS-shipped backends (DirectSound, WASAPI, CoreAudio, ALSA, Aaudio, etc…) There are some DSP effects included as well.
libsoundio	https://github.com/andrewrk/libsoundio	✅	❌	❌	Cross platform audio I/O library	✅	❔	❌	✅	❔	✅	MIT	This is a cross platform audio I/O library that interacts with a number of platform and 3rd party audio backends.
portaudio	https://github.com/PortAudio/portaudio	✅	❌	❌	Cross platform audio I/O library	✅	✅	❌	✅	❔	✅	Custom, Permissive License	This is a cross platform audio I/O library that interacts with a number of platform and 3rd party audio backends.
libvlc	https://wiki.videolan.org/LibVLC/	✅	✅	✅	Cross platform media I/O library	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅	LGPLv2	This is a cross platform media player, with support for network streaming of media, as well as local playback. Support for simultaneous playing of one-shot sounds are not known, given the nature of the full application. This does have directly plug into platform audio and video backends.
LabSound	https://github.com/LabSound/LabSound	✅	✅	✅	WebAudio Port that uses libnyquist for DSP and miniaudio as a backend	✅	❔	✅	✅	✅	✅	BSD	This project began as a port of WebKit's WebAudio implementation. Some 3rd party solutions are used for audio processing and backend, namely libnyquist and miniaudio.
