# osx-audio

A library that provides access to Mac OS X Audio I/O as streams. Only input is
supported so far.

Audio captured is Signed 16-bit PCM, Stereo, 44100Hz, in little-endian
byte-order. Alternate capture modes will be supported in future versions.

## Installation

To install the module for use in your projects:

```bash
npm install osx-audio
```

## Usage

Pipe input to a writeable file stream:

```js
var fs = require('fs');
var audio = require('osx-audio');

var input = new audio.Input();

var writable = fs.createWriteStream('output.wav');
input.pipe(writable);
```

### Options

None yet.

### API

#### audio.Input()

Creates a readable stream from the system audio's selected input.

## Environment Variables

None yet.

## Known Issues

- Opening, closing, then opening an input will fail to open. Re-instantiating
works fine.

## Contributing

Feel free to send pull requests! I'm not picky, but would like the following:

1. Write tests for any new features, and do not break existing tests.
2. Be sure to point out any changes that break API.
