The C* Audio Plugin Suite, is a collection of highly refined LADSPA units capable of (and intended for) realtime operation. The suite includes DSP units emulating instrument amplifiers, stomp-box classics, versatile 'virtual analogue' oscillators, fractal oscillation, reverb, equalization and others.

DSSI (pronounced "dizzy") is an API for audio processing plugins, particularly useful for software synthesis plugins with user interfaces. DSSI is an open and well-documented specification developed for use in Linux audio applications, although portable to other platforms. It may be thought of as LADSPA-for-instruments, or something comparable to VSTi. DSSI consists of a C language API for use by plugins and hosts, based on the LADSPA API, and an OSC (Open Sound Control) API for use in user interface to host communications. The DSSI specification consists of an RFC which describes the background for the proposal and defines the OSC part of the specification, and a documented header file which defines the C API.

Many audio synthesis and recording packages are in use or in development. These work in many different ways. LADSPA provides a standard way for `plugin' audio processors to be used with a wide range of these packages. For instance, this allows a developer to make a reverb program and bundle it into a LADSPA `plugin library.' Ordinary users can then use this reverb within any LADSPA-friendly audio application.

DarkIce is an IceCast, IceCast2, and ShoutCast live audio streamer. It records audio from an audio interface (e.g. sound card), encodes it and sends it to a stream server. DarkIce can encode in the following formats: - MP3 (using the lame library) - MP2 (using the twolame library) - Ogg Vorbis - AAC (using the faac library) - AAC HEv2 (using libaacplus library) DarkIce can send the encoded stream to the following streaming servers: - ShoutCast - IceCast 1.3.x and 2.x - Darwin Streaming Server - Archive the encoded audio in files

LASH is a session management system for JACK audio applications. It is an implementation of a proposal that originated from this discussion. Its aim is to allow you to have many different audio programs running at once, to save their setup, close them down and then easily reload the setup at some other time. LASH doesn't deal with any kind of audio data itself; it just runs programs, deals with saving/loading (arbitrary) data and connects different kinds of virtual audio ports together (currently JACK and ALSA sequencer ports). It can also be used to move entire sessions between computers, or post sessions on the Internet for download.

libmusicbrainz is a client library for accessing the MusicBrainz database allowing metadata lookup for audio files. This is version 3.x which uses the deprecated XML Web Service Version 1.

libopenspc provides a library that allows for the emulated playback of SPC files, which are SNES audio files. It uses the SNEeSe emulator sound core for accurate playback.

Python Audio Tools are a collection of audio handling programs which work from the command line. These include programs for CD extraction, track conversion from one audio format to another, track renaming and retagging, track identification, CD burning from tracks, and more. Supports internationalized track filenames and metadata using Unicode. Works with high-definition, multi-channel audio as well as CD-quality. Track conversion uses multiple CPUs or CPU cores if available to greatly speed the transcoding process. Track metadata can be retrieved from FreeDB, MusicBrainz or compatible servers.

libmusicbrainz is a client library for accessing the MusicBrainz database allowing metadata lookup for audio files. This is version 5.x which supports version 2 of the XML Web Service.

DAGRAB is a program for reading audio tracks from a CD into wav sound files. An IDE CD-rom drive that supports digital audio is required.
