You&#39;ll have to install the portaudio C libraries and header files before continuing. I never actually tested the package on XP, if you get it to work, I&#39;d love to hear your experience.<div><br></div><div>/jve<br><div>

<br>What is the most minimal (preferably platform independent) library available for writing bytes to the sound card? I see 60 wonderful libraries on Hackage, but I really just need the Haskell equivalent of an audio.write(byte[]) method. What sound api are these 60 libraries using?<br>
