What problem does it solve?

This Skill fixes Rust audio issues on WSL2 by providing a reliable workaround to make rodio/cpal work with ALSA and PulseAudio routing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Compilation workaround: Enables building Rust audio projects on WSL2 by extracting required ALSA dev headers from .deb packages without sudo.
  • Runtime audio routing: Redirects ALSA through PulseAudio under WSLg to produce working sound output.
  • Use Case: Imagine a Rust project that fails with "The system library 'alsa' required by crate 'alsa-sys' was not found"; this Skill provides a reproducible fix.

Quick Start

Follow the steps in SKILL.md to compile ALSA headers and configure PulseAudio routing for WSL2.
