Detailed Description

The Audio::IRenderer interface represents a generic audio renderer.

For most cases, an application does not need to directly interact with this interface. Instead, using audio-related nodes from the Murl::Graph Node Interfaces or Murl::Graph Node Classes sections is the preferred way to implement sound output functionality in a cross-platform manner.

Accessing the audio renderer interface directly may be useful in advanced use cases, when creating custom audio objects or even a complete custom renderer suite.
