Using cubeb as a dependency with the cubeb-coreaudio-rs backend?

[mutexlox-signal]

I'm trying to use cubeb-rs with cubeb-coreaudio-rs as a backend. Currently, I'm doing so by adding cubeb to my Cargo.toml, but it appears that:

1. This doesn't pull in cubeb-coreaudio-rs (attempting to manually select the audiounit-rust backend fails; I just get the audiounit backend instead)
2. There is not anything in crates.io for cubeb-coreaudio-rs
3. The suggested steps for using cubeb-coreaudio-rs do not seem to integrate well into Cargo.toml files

Is there any recommended / supported way to use cubeb-coreaudio-rs as a backend without manually cloning the git repo?

If not, do you have any plans to make it available in crates.io?

Just wanted to ping this issue. I've managed to get this building locally, by:

1. Checking out cubeb-rs and initializing submodules
2. cd'ing to cubeb and manually cloning cubeb-coreaudio-rs
3. Adding .define("BUILD_RUST_LIBS", "ON") to cubeb-sys/build.rs, AND adding cubeb-rs/cubeb-sys/libcubeb/src/cubeb-coreaudio-rs/target/release to the library search path AND adding static=cubeb_coreaudio to the link-libs.

I can, perhaps, make this work for production purposes, but it seems like a lot of changes; is there any simpler way to depend on cubeb-rs with all of the tier-1 backends?

That seem about right. cubeb-rs hasn't received much work, in part because it isn't used in Firefox and other large programs using cubeb, most users are using the C API, sometimes with Rust backends underneath.

I have a plan to merge all repos to make this a lot easier, but I haven't done it just now.

Thanks for the input! Created mozilla/cubeb-rs#91 as a way to add this support to cubeb-rs. This is an early draft still, so let me know what you think. (especially if this is the right general idea)

The submodule merge is very helpful, but now I'm running into rust-lang/cargo#6745 (Fix tracked in rust-lang/cargo#11405), which I think can only be worked around by adding empty [workspace] declarations to cubeb-coreaudio-rs and cubeb-pulse-rs's Cargo.toml files and then updating the submodules in cubeb.

Posted mozilla/cubeb-pulse-rs#94 and #236 to work around that issue.
