The flat assembler is a fast and efficient self-assembling 80x86
assembler for DOS, Windows and Linux operating systems. Currently it
supports all 8086-80486/Pentium instructions with MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3
and 3DNow! extensions and x86-64 (both AMD64 and EM64T) instructions,
can produce output in binary, MZ, PE, COFF or ELF format. It includes
the powerful but easy to use macroinstruction support and does multiple
passes to optimize the instruction codes for size. The flat assembler is
self-compilable and the full source code is included.
okay sthen@.
- add sndio backend
playback under aucat server is pretty solid. for full-duplex,
starting aucat with 'aucat -l -b 2048' and jackd with just
'jackd -d sndio' seems to work best for me. we want low latency
anyway, right ;)
Vamp is an audio processing plugin system for plugins that extract
descriptive information from audio data - typically referred to as audio
analysis plugins or audio feature extraction plugins.
WavPack is a completely open audio compression format providing
lossless, high-quality lossy, and a unique hybrid compression mode.
The compression ratio depends on the source material, but generally
is between 30% and 70%.
The hybrid mode provides all the advantages of lossless compression
with an additional bonus. Instead of creating a single file, this
mode creates both a relatively small, high-quality lossy file that
can be used all by itself, and a "correction" file that (when
combined with the lossy file) provides full lossless restoration.
WavPack employs only well known, public domain techniques (i.e.,
linear prediction with LMS adaptation, Elias and Golomb codes) in
its implementation. Methods and algorithms that have ever been
patented (e.g., arithmetic coding, LZW compression) are specifically
avoided.
reading on a loop without any kind of sleeping is about the worst option,
resulting in spinning and taking all available cpu cycles. very very
visible with alert scripts that sleep, but also lowers nagios' cpu usage
a lot. found out the hard way... with input from kettenis, ok sturm
