Nice work. Does it use some kind of audio abstraction layer so ports to non Mac platforms might be easy?

Yeah, RtAudio. So it should be easy to port it to Windows and Linux. I'll work on that soon, hopefully this weekend.

It already compiles on Linux without any modifications whatsoever:

  g++ -O2 -march=native -mtune=native -D__LINUX_PULSE__ -D__LINUX_ALSA__ -D__UNIX_JACK__ \
      lcc_rtaudio.cpp RtAudio.cpp -o lcc -pthread -ljack -lasound  -lpulse-simple -lpulse

The above will give you a binary with the Jack, ALSA and PulseAudio backends baked in.

Update: We accepted a pull request with a Windows build, including a binary executable and build instructions.
