MOC (music on console) is a console audio player designed to be powerful and
easy to use.
MOC plays smoothly, regardless of system or I/O load, because it handles the
output buffer in a separate thread. It does not cause gaps between files,
because the next file to be played is pre-cached while playing the current
file.
Supported file formats are: MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Musepack (mpc), Speex, WAVE,
AIFF, AU, SVX, Sphere Nist WAV, IRCAM SF, Creative VOC, AAC, MP4, Real, WMA.
libgpod is a shared library to access the contents of an iPod and
optionally iPhone (via `comms/libimobiledevice' library port, enabled
by default).
This code was originally part of gtkpod itself. When the parsing code
was made self-contained with gtkpod v0.93, decision was made to put
this code in a separate library so that other projects can benefit
from it without duplicating code.
libgpod supports playlists, smart playlists, playcounts, ratings,
podcasts, cover art, audio and video. Photo support is implemented as
well. Python and Mono bindings are optionally available too.
TiMidity is a software synthesizer. It can play MIDI files by converting them
into PCM waveform data; give it a MIDI data along with digital instrument data
files, then it synthesizes them in real-time, and plays. It can not only play
sounds, but also can save the generated waveforms into hard disks as various
audio file formats.
TiMidity 0.2i was written by Tuukka Toivonen <tt@cgs.fi> in 1995. No new version
of this project has been released since then. Development has been continued by
Masanao Izumo et al. in the new project named TiMidity++ (audio/timidity++).
tosha reads CD-DA (digital audio) and CD-XA (digital video)
tracks and writes them to the hard disk. Several audio formats
are supported: raw PCM (little-endian and big-endian byte
order), WAV / RIFF, AIFF and Sun AU.
You can also pipe the data directly into an audio or video
player. A simple audio player is included ("pcmplay"). To
playback VideoCD data, you need a third-party product, for
example MpegTV (see http://www.mpegtv.com/).
tosha reads the digital audio / video data through the SCSI
bus; therefore it does not work with IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drives
nor with proprietary interfaces.
WMRecord is a general purpose audio recording utility that is designed to
work in conjunction with WindowMaker's Dock or AfterStep's Wharf.
It was originally conceived as a tool for recording memos, interviews
and meetings, and this approach is reflected somewhat in the interface.
Recordings are made to one of 99 numbered slots or tracks which the user
may browse through. There is no limit (other than the constraints of the
file system) to the size of the recordings you make. Recordings are
automatically saved to disk, but may be erased or recorded over as
necessary.
Iozone: 'IO Zone' Benchmark Program (older 2.1 version)
Iozone tests the speed of sequential I/O to actual files. Therefore,
this measurement factors in the efficiency of your machine's file
system, operating system, C compiler, and C runtime library. It
produces a measurement which is the number of bytes per second that
your system can read or write to a file.
This is the 2.1 version of iozone. The new 3.x+ versions of iozone have
completely changed their testing methods, thus their output is useless in
comparing with older statistics.
The program thrulay is used to measure the capacity, delay, and
other performance metrics of a network by sending a bulk TCP or UDP
stream over it.
Special features of thrulay include:
* For TCP, ability to measure round-trip delay along with throughput
* For UDP, ability to measure
- one-way delay, with quantiles
- packet loss
- packet duplication
- reordering
* For UDP, the ability to send precisely positioned true Poisson streams
(microsecond errors in sending times)
* Human- and machine-readable output (ready to be fed to gnuplot)
Artemis is a DNA sequence viewer and annotation tool that allows
visualisation of sequence features and the results of analyses within
the context of the sequence, and its six-frame translation. Artemis is
written in Java, reads EMBL or GENBANK format sequences and feature
tables, and can work on sequences of any size.
ACT (Artemis Comparison Tool) is a DNA sequence comparison viewer based
on Artemis. It can open two or more sequences (and their
annotations/features) together with their comparisons (usually the
result of running blastn or tblastx searches).
MAFFT offers a range of multiple alignment strategies, L-INS-i
(accurate; recommended for <200 sequences), FFT-NS-i (standard speed and
accuracy), FFT-NS-2 (fast; recommended for >2,000 sequences), etc.
According to BAliBASE and other benchmark tests, L-INS-i is one of the
most accurate methods currently available.
MAFFT has been described:
