+mossrose
+========
+
+> *Portulaca grandiflora*
+
+A minimal-dependency PortAudio-based audio mixer library. It doesn't *load* audio; you'll need to do that yourself.

+
+### `int mr_init(double sample_rate, int n_channels)` ###
+
+Initialize mossrose with `n_channels` worth of audio, at `sample_rate` Hz. Returns 0 on success and 1 otherwise.
+
+
+### `int mr_terminate()` ###
+
+Terminate mossrose.
+
+
+### `int mr_play(float *left, float *right, size_t n_samples, int channel)` ###
+
+Play a sound. Either `left` or `right` may be NULL, but not both. If `channel` is non-negative, 
+it will use that channel; otherwise, it will use the first available free channel. Returns the 
+channel used on success, or -1 on failure.
