Aural

Virtual audio cable creator, manager, and router

Purpose:

When faced with a complex audio situtation, such as for streaming or recording, there is no non-proprietary solution to create virtual audio cables (VACs) or route audio sources to different destinations easily. To solve this issue, we will create an open-source alternative to proprietary virtual audio cable software, and proprietary audio routing software. We hope to create a single product that performs the tasks of both of the below examples, without the limitations of the free versions.
