AudioNimbus: A Rust Wrapper for Immersive Spatial Audio with Steam Audio

AudioNimbus is a Rust library providing a safe and easy-to-use wrapper around Valve's powerful Steam Audio spatial audio toolkit. It simplifies integration of immersive 3D audio into Rust projects, supporting features like HRTF, Ambisonics, realistic sound propagation (including distance attenuation and reflections), and more. The library consists of two crates: `audionimbus` (high-level safe wrapper) and `audionimbus-sys` (auto-generated bindings to the Steam Audio C API). Check out the demo for a quick start!
