Xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin is a panel plugin for controlling an audio output
volume of the PulseAudio mixer. The volume can be adjusted using keyboard
shortcuts, mouse wheel, or via a linked external audio mixer tool.
Xhippo is a Generic music player for Unix. Written in GTK, it has optional
GNOME support.
It supports all types of files, defaults including mp3, midi, wav, etc.
More can be added via the configuration file using external players
XMMS LADSPA an Effect Plugin for XMMS that provides (some of)
the power of the Linux Audio Developer's Simple Plugin API (LADSPA) to your
everyday MP3 and all-around media player.
With XMMS LADSPA you can use any number of audio processing plugins
written to the LADSPA specification,
Open Look-based audio mixer
DBS is a useful tool chest for evaluating TCP implementations, specifically
flow control, retransmission control and congestion avoidance.
-It can treat multiple TCP connections spanning multiple hosts
simultaneously, and
-It has the capability of measuring the changes of application
level throughput at every data transmission.
flops.c is a C program which attempts to estimate your system's floating-
point 'MFLOPS' rating for the FADD, FSUB, FMUL, and FDIV operations based on
specific 'instruction mixes' (discussed below). The program provides an
estimate of PEAK MFLOPS performance by making maximal use of register
variables with minimal interaction with main memory. The execution loops
are all small so that they will fit in any cache. The flops.c execution
modules include various percent weightings of FDIV's (from 0% to 25% FDIV's)
so that the range of performance can be obtained when using FDIV's. FDIV's,
being computationally more intensive than FADD's or FMUL's, can impact
performance considerably on some systems.
LibMicro is a portable set of microbenchmarks that many Solaris engineers
used during Solaris 10 development to measure the performance of various
system and library calls. LibMicro was developed by Bart Smaalders and
Phil Harman as part of their If another OS is faster it's a Solaris bug
performance campaign.
This is a Linux/Unix port of release 2 of BYTE Magazine's BYTEmark benchmark
program (previously known as BYTE's Native Mode Benchmarks). It is designed
to expose the capabilities of a system's CPU, FPU, and memory system.
NetPerfMeter is a network performance meter for the UDP,
TCP, SCTP and DCCP transport protocols over IPv4 and IPv6.
It simultaneously transmits bidirectional flows to an endpoint
and measures the resulting flow bandwidths and QoS. The
results are written as vector and scalar files. The vector
files can e.g. be used to create plots of the results.
Pathload is a tool that can estimate the available bandwidth of network
paths.
