RTAudio isn't a DSP library, it's a thin wrapper around audio driver APIs on desktop operating systems (and maybe mobile? I haven't used it in years). Elk is awesome but it's a proper linux distro, which may require more resources than the typical embedded audio device. But it's remarkable how much you can do these days. I don't think JUCE belongs in the same conversation. It barely runs on Linux and the DSP library is not suitable for production applications (the IIR filter implementation requires allocation to set its parameters!)

An aside, but just recently I tried to get RTAudio off the ground for some low-latency hobby projects. In the end I switched to PortAudio which works fine with low-latency backends.

And as I’ve wrote above the term embedded is very broad and many times consider general purpose cpus. There are also chipsets/SoCs with separate DSP unit which requires its own toolchain and usually include basic building blocks. SOUL in the list aims in the future to abstract also for such chips similar to GPUs abstractions (eg opengl)
