Cdparanoia is a Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA) Digital Audio Extraction
(DAE) tool, commonly known on the net as a 'ripper'. The application is
built on top of the Paranoia library, which is doing the real work (the
Paranoia source is included in the cdparanoia source distribution).
Cdparanoia reads audio from the CDROM directly as data, with no analog step
between, and writes the data to a file or pipe in WAV, AIFC, or raw 16 bit
linear PCM.
Cdparanoia is a bit different than most other CDDA extraction tools. It
contains few-to-no 'extra' features, concentrating only on the ripping
process and knowing as much as possible about the hardware performing it.
Cdparanoia will read correct, rock-solid audio data from inexpensive drives
prone to misalignment, frame jitter, and loss of streaming during atomic
reads. Cdparanoia will also read and repair data from CDs that have been
damaged in some way.
Cdparanoia is easy to use and administrate. It has no compile time
configuration, happily autodetecting the CDROM, its type, its interface and
other aspects of the ripping process at runtime. A single binary can serve
the diverse hardware of the do-it-yourself computer laboratory from Hell.
The CELT codec is an experimental audio codec for use in low-delay
speech and audio communication. It's meant to close the gap between
Vorbis and Speex for applications where both high quality audio
and low delay are desired.

Enscribe creates digital audio watermark images from photographic
images. These images can only be seen using a third party frequency vs
time display, such as Baudline (audio/baudline).
Images are still visible even after such audio mangling techniques as
MP3/Ogg compression, reverb, chorus, etc. Heavy EQ and flange can
stripe out vertical sections, but they can also ruin an otherwise good
song as well.
fdmf is portable perl/C software for finding pairs of music files in a
collection that are likely to contain the same music. It works on the
music itself, not on the filename, tags, or headers. It uses an audio
fingerprint, or perceptual hash to recognize the duplicate files. It is
currently under heavy development, so it might be buggy, broken, or
otherwise bad. But it works for me.
HVSC-Update is a tool to update your HVSC C= 64 SID tune collection.
GNU GTick is a metronome application. It features a scale from 10 beats
per minute to 1000 BPM and arbitrary beat modes (meters). It uses GTK+2
and OSS.
Hydrogen is an advanced drum machine. Its main goal is to bring
professional yet simple and intuitive pattern-based drum programming.

SoundTouch is an open-source audio processing library for changing the
tempo, pitch, and playback rates of audio streams or files:
* Tempo (time-stretch): changes the sound to play at faster or slower
speed than original, without affecting the sound pitch
* Pitch (key): changes the sound pitch or key, without affecting the
sound tempo or speed
* Playback rate: changes both the sound tempo and pitch, as if an LP
disc was played at wrong RPM rate
The SoundTouch library is suited for application developers writing sound
processing tools that require tempo/pitch control functionality, or just for
playing around with the sound effects. The source kit includes also an
example utility SoundStretch that allows processing .WAV audio files with
command-line interface.
