About:
Libbs2b is a digital signal processing library that applies Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural psychoacoustic processing to audio. It simulates 3D sound from stereo sources, making them more natural and less fatiguing for headphone listening. This allows standard stereo audio to be experienced with enhanced spatial depth and localization.

Key Features:

Real-time DSP processing for low-latency audio conversion
High-quality crossfeed simulation for headphone listening
Lightweight C library with minimal dependencies
Support for multiple bit depths and sample rates

Use Cases:

Improving headphone audio quality in music players and audio applications
Reducing listening fatigue during extended headphone sessions
Enhancing stereo imaging for gaming and multimedia applications
Creating binaural audio effects from standard stereo sources

Alternatives:

bs2b-ffmpeg – FFmpeg integration providing similar crossfeed processing with broader format support
VST plugins – Commercial and open-source plugins offering similar spatial processing with GUI interfaces
