[linux-audio-dev] seeking minimal C++ library for ear-training

[james at dis-dot-dat.net]

If you want 'easy', I'd suggest using something like Python+PyGame rather
than C++.

You'd probably find it easier to learn enought python than tackle the
sound libraries for C++.

Just my opinion.

If you want any help with it, let me know.
