The Analysis & Resynthesis Sound Spectrograph (formerly known as the Analysis &
Reconstruction Sound Engine), or ARSS, is a program that analyses a sound file
into a spectrogram and is able to synthesise this spectrogram, or any other
user-created image, back into a sound.
ARSS is now superseded by Photosounder, which makes use of most of the
techniques offered by ARSS in a simple to use and powerful graphical user
interface and built in editor.
The asmix utility is a volume control knob for X windows and for AfterStep
window manager especially. The knob can be used to adjust the master
volume of your sound card.
Asunder is a graphical Audio CD ripper and encoder. You can use
it to save tracks from an Audio CD as WAV, MP3, OGG, and/or FLAC.
aTunes is a full-featured audio player and manager, developed in Java.
Currently plays mp3, ogg, wma, wav, flac, mp4 and radio streaming,
allowing users to easily edit tags, organize music and rip Audio CDs.
Audiere is a high-level audio API. It can play Ogg Vorbis, MP3,
FLAC, uncompressed WAV, AIFF, MOD, S3M, XM, and IT files. For audio
output, Audiere supports DirectSound or WinMM in Windows, OSS on
Linux and Cygwin, and SGI AL on IRIX.
Audiere is open source and licensed under the LGPL. This means that
you may freely use Audiere in commercial products, as long as you
do not modify the source code. If you do modify Audiere and release
a product that uses your modifications, you must release your changes
to the code under the LGPL as well.
Audiere is portable. It is tested on Windows, Linux-i386, Cygwin,
and IRIX with at least three major compilers. Most of Audiere is
endian-independent, so I expect it would work with few modifications
on other architectures.
Boodler is a tool for creating soundscapes -- continuous, infinitely
varying streams of sound. Boodler is designed to run in the background on a
computer, maintaining whatever sound environment you desire.
Bristol is an emulation package for a number of different 'classic'
synthesisers including additive, subtractive and a few organs.
The application consists of the engine, which is called bristol,
and its own GUI library called brighton that represents all the
emulations.
Calf Studio Gear is an audio plug-in pack for LV2 and JACK environments.
The suite contains lots of effects (delay, modulation, signal processing,
dynamics, distortion and mastering effects), instruments (SF2 player,
organ simulator and a monophonic synthesizer) and tools (analyzer,
mono/stereo tools). Calf Studio Gear aims for a professional audience.

Chromaprint is the core component of the AcoustID project. It is
a client-side library that implements a custom algorithm for
extracting fingerprints from any audio source. Also included is
fpcalc, a small utility for calculating AcoustID fingerprints.
