I did a bit of #AudioDev for the past few days, but eventually I finally got my pipeline to work. I have mixed feelings about demuxing a html stream, piping aac/mp3 across #FFmpeg to get PCM, doing some manipulation (because FFTs are fun), then calling #PortAudio to call #CoreAudio to make the speakers go beep-boop.
