Why use it
Custom engines can expose spatial audio through a stable C API and reuse HRTF plus native device backends instead of rebuilding the complete mixer-device layer per platform.

LGPL-2.0-or-later distribution needs a compliant dynamic-linking or relinking path and notices; teams must also verify backend selection, latency, and HRTF cost on every target device.
