When NOT to use mlx-audio
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Do not use mlx-audio if your project or target hardware is not based on Apple Silicon. It requires specifically designed optimizations that do not apply to Intel processors.
- Avoid mlx-audio when the dependency on ffmpeg for audio format handling becomes a limitation due to licensing, compatibility with existing pipelines, or specific codec requirements.
- Do not opt for mlx-audio if your application does not require seamless integration within the MLX framework and does not gain any significant benefit from its specialized support.
