Command-line encoder that outputs aacPlus v2 files (ie. Advanced Audio Coding +
Spectral Band Resonation + Parametric Stereo, or AAC + SBR + PS), also known as
HE-AAC+ (High Efficiency AAC+). Developed by Coding Technologies, based on the
reference code obtained from 3GPP, repackaged to compile on contemporary Linux
by Matteo Croce.
jack-keyboard is a virtual keyboard that lets you play on softsynths
(like audio/ghostess) using your computer's keyboard.
It's somewhat similar in purpose to vkeybd, except that jack-keyboard
uses JACK MIDI instead of ALSA.
See the README file for keyboard mapping.
AdPlug is a free, cross-platform, hardware independent AdLib sound player
library, mainly written in C++ and released under the LGPL. AdPlug plays
sound data, originally created for the AdLib (OPL2) audio board, directly
from its original format on top of an OPL2 emulator or by using the real
hardware. No OPL chip is required for playback.
libdiscid is a C library for creating MusicBrainz DiscIDs from audio CDs. It
reads a CD's table of contents (TOC) and generates an identifier which can be
used to lookup the CD at MusicBrainz. Additionally, it provides a submission
URL for adding the DiscID to the database.
Ogg is a multimedia container format and the native file and stream
format for the Xiph.org multimedia codecs. It encapsulates raw
compressed data and allows the interleaving of audio and video data
inside a single convient format. Ogg is a stream oriented container
and provides packet framing, error detection, and periodic timestamps
for seeking.
The LinuxSampler project was founded with the goal to produce a
free, streaming capable open source pure software audio sampler
with professional grade features, comparable to both hardware and
commercial Windows/Mac software samplers and to introduce new
features not yet available by any other sampler in the world.
listener is a typical security-related program like the motion package
(which detects motion on a Webcam): it listens for sound. If it detects
any, it starts recording until the sound stops (or a bit later, which is
configurable). It stores the audio in .WAV files.
rebot3.pl renames MP3 files that you have grabbed from audio CDs with
the track name, number, album, and/or artist. It does so by using
either a remote CDDB server or a local CDDB created by cd (and other)
players like xmcd, kscd or xmms. With rebot3.pl you can also add or
remove ID3 (version 1) tags to/from the MP3 files.
This program emulates an AirPort Express for the purpose of streaming music
from iTunes and compatible iPods. It implements a server for the Apple RAOP
protocol. ShairPort does not support AirPlay v2 (video and photo streaming).
It supports multiple simultaneous streams, if your audio output chain (as
detected by libao) does so.
SSM is an object-oriented modular softsynth/sequencer/sampler.
You can use it in a fairly straight forward way to make tracks with,
or get very experimental. Audio or control data can be freely passed
between the plugins, there is no difference. Data can also be fed
back on itself for chaotic effects.
