So it's been quite a bit since I last did an update. A few months short of two years to be exact. I've been fairly busy with work and some other long term personal projects. But in the meantime, I did get to release a much smaller one; Basson, a cross platform audio playback engine for C#/.NET Core:
https://gitlab.com/define-private-public/Bassoon
I created this since I wanted to be able to do audio playback in C# on Linux, Windows, and OS X. While there were some packages available on NuGet, they were not preferable to me, so I took the time to make my own. It's hobbled together using P/Invoke bindings to `libsndfile` and PortAudio. At the moment it does not support MP3 decoding (though that is planned), which is one of the main drawbacks. And you also need to build the native dependencies yourself, but a CMake file is provided to handle that. In the future, I hope to also add some more features such as audio recording and some minor effects. So far I am happy with it.
