.NET API for BASS and all of the add-ons. Can be   
used with both C# and VB, with several examples    
included. Supports .Net Framework version 2.0 and  
above.                                             
                                                   
BASS is an audio library for use in Windows and Mac
OSX software. Its purpose is to provide developers 
with powerful and efficient sample, stream (MP3,   
MP2, MP1, OGG, WAV, AIFF, custom generated, and    
more via add-ons), MOD music (XM, IT, S3M, MOD,    
MTM, UMX), MO3 music (MP3/OGG compressed MODs), and
recording functions. All in a tiny DLL, under      
100KB* in size.                                    
                                                   
On Windows, BASS requires DirectX 3 or above for   
output, and takes advantage of DirectSound and     
DirectSound3D hardware accelerated drivers, when   
available. On OSX, BASS uses CoreAudio for output, 
and OSX 10.3 or above is recommended. Both PowerPC 
and Intel Macs are supported.                      
                                                   
C/C++, Delphi, Visual Basic, and MASM APIs are     
provided, with several examples to get you started.
.Net and other APIs are also available.            
                                                   
Main features                                      
Samples                                            
Support for WAV/AIFF/MP3/MP2/MP1/OGG and custom    
generated samples                                  
Sample streams                                     
Stream any sample data in 8/16/32 bit, with both   
"push" and "pull" systems                          
File streams                                       
MP3/MP2/MP1/OGG/WAV/AIFF file streaming            
Internet file streaming                            
Stream data from HTTP and FTP servers (inc.        
Shoutcast, Icecast & Icecast2), with proxy server  
support and adjustable buffering                   
Custom file streaming                              
Stream data from anywhere using any delivery       
method, with both "push" and "pull" systems        
Multi-channel streaming                            
Support for more than plain stereo, including      
multi-channel OGG/WAV/AIFF files                   
MOD music                                          
Uses the same engine as XMPlay (very accurate,     
efficient, high quality reproduction), with full   
support for all effects, filters, stereo samples,  
DMO effects, etc...                                
MO3 music                                          
MODs with MP3 or OGG compressed samples (vastly    
reduced file size with virtually identical sound   
quality), MO3s are created using the MO3 encoder   
Multiple outputs                                   
Simultaneously use multiple soundcards, and move   
channels between them                              
Recording                                          
Flexible recording system, with multiple device    
support and input selection, (WMA encoding &       
broadcasting via the add-on, and other formats via 
BASSenc)                                           
Decode without playback                            
Streams and MOD musics can be outputted in any way 
you want (encoded, written to disk, streamed across
a network, etc...)                                 
Speaker assignment                                 
Assign streams and MOD musics to specific speakers 
to take advantage of hardware capable of more than 
plain stereo (up to 4 separate stereo outputs with 
a 7.1 soundcard)                                   
High precision synchronization                     
Synchronize events in your software to the streams 
and MOD musics, synchronize playback of multiple   
channels together                                  
Custom DSP                                         
Apply any effects that you want, in any order you  
want                                               
DirectX 8 effects Windows only                     
Chorus / compressor / distortion / echo / flanger /
gargle / parametric eq / reverb, 2 implementation  
options each with its benefits (including mixing   
with DSP functions)                                
32 bit floating-point decoding and processing      
Floating-point decoding/rendering, DSP, FX, and    
recording                                          
3D sound                                           
Play samples/streams/musics in any 3D position,    
with EAX support                                   
Flexible                                           
Small buffers for realtime performance, large      
buffers for stability, automatic and manual buffer 
updating, configurable threading                   
Expandable                                         
Add-on system for additional format support and    
effects (C/C++ API available on request), dynamic  
plugin loading system, access to underlying        
DirectSound objects                                
Small                                              
BASS is less than 100KB*, so won't bloat your      
distribution
