I don't use D (I make my audio stuff using Rust) but it's always good to see new audio libraries/tools. Slightly off-topic, I'd love to see an open project for audio plugin specs. VST and AU are managed by private companies and have a history of extremely poor documentation. For anyone who tried to code audio stuff at least once, it's a real pain. Audio is already hard in itself. (Don't even get me started on the bugs around AUv3…)

I'm curious about what do you use for audio with Rust?

  I'm afraid my answer is disappointing: just Rust, with the necessary boilerplate to wrap the code in AU or to the audio interface...

  There's a github org here: https://github.com/rustaudio https://github.com/rustaudio

I hear you on that. It is especially embarrassing that despite the callbacks being essentially the same since the '90s, there are still ~5 APIs to do the same thing, and all of them are this ugly. I wonder how LADSPA and LV2 look... LV2 at least has units, so you don't need to use some arbitrary rule to convert your Hz, dB, octave, and other units to a 1.0f > float > 0.0f and then that float maybe into an integer. Putting aside plugin/processor APIs for a moment, I think platform APIs are even worse. I mean, PortAudio, whose namesake is portable audio, does not include a functioning PulseAudio sink, and doesn't function correctly on most GNU/Linux systems of the last decade.
