RTAudio is just a front-end for several different audio playback libraries. It would allow people to use jack for playback and recording which is not the case for portaudio I think. Then again I maintained an audio app using RTAudio and people were complaining a lot about it.

It seems to me that portaudio uses the most common libraries on each system including Jack on linux , but ALSA is recommended. For system specific features, you have to include additionnal headers.

Even though I never seriously used none of the libraries I cited, I also think that portaudio is more mature.
