Wasapi bindings for Rust

The aim of this crate is to provide easy and safe access to the Wasapi API for audio playback and capture.

The presented API is all safe Rust, but structs and functions closely follow the original Windows API.

For details on how to use Wasapi, please see the Windows documentation.
