xmms-wavpack is a plugin for the multimedia player XMMS that plays
audio files in the WavPack format, which supports lossless and lossy
compression.
ok sthen@
it seems the bug jakemsr@ fell into several months ago has been fixed;
note that this does not add any dependency since akode needs jack which
needs libsamplerate
- lowercase COMMENT while here
discussed with and no objection from jakemsr@
- 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.
- Drop snprintf() patches that were not accepted upstream.
- Drop flavors and just add most external libraries sox supports.
- Don't modularize the format converters.
Vagalume is a Last.fm client for GNOME.

* It plays Last.fm radio streams (using protocol v1.2)
* Support for different radio stations (personal, neighbours, loved tracks,
or any lastfm:// URL)
* It supports marking tracks as loved or banned
* It can tag artists, tracks and albums
* It can download free tracks to your hard disk
* It sends Now Playing information following the Audioscrobbler Realtime
Submission Protocol v1.2.

A sound theme is a set of sounds, sharing similarities / instruments...
The user can then select the sound theme that they want to use, and all
applications will use sounds from the theme. This definition is
similar to icon theme.
use gstreamer first (which uses libsndio by default) instead of plain OSS.
(canberra should be modified to use libsndio by itlsef)
- explicitely add enable/disable switches in CONFIGURE_ARGS
- regen PLIST while here
eSpeak produces good quality English speech. It uses a different
synthesis method from other open source TTS engines, and sounds
quite different. It's perhaps not as natural or "smooth", but
the articulation is much clearer and easier to listen to for long
periods.
mpdBrowser shows your collection's covers and let's you:
- play an album with left click
- Enqueue an album with left click and Control
- Clear playlist with middle click
- Play a song with right click
- Enqueue a song with right click and Control

Shell.FM is a lightweight and interactive console based player for
last.fm radio streams (e.g. lastfm://artistnames/someartist) featuring
proxy support and bookmarks saving.
from guillaume pinot (maintainer). with tweaks by giovanni bechis and jakemsr@
testing by many, thanks!
- greatly simplify type-mismatch-correcting patches. most of the
mismatches actually match on size and signedness, so only fix the
ones that don't match. tested to work on sparc64 by naddy@ a
while back.
- libmp4v2 is no longer part of this package
groups when dropping privilege. This fixes long-standing permission
problems when accessing music directory..
From Tobias Ulmer (MAINTAINER) on ports@, thanks!

Music::Audioscrobbler::MPD is a scrobbler for MPD. It provides routines
to submit songs to last.fm from MPD.
based on a port by anton v. yabchinkiy, with tweaks by me.

Music::Audioscrobbler::Submit is a scrobbler for MPD implementing the
1.2 protocol, including "Now Playing' feature.
Items are submitted and stored in a queue. This queue is stored as a
file using Tie::File. When you submit a track, it will add the queue to
the track and process the queue. If it submits all items in the queue,
the submit() method will return true.

- fix build on alpha by not comparing a va_list to NULL. problem
noticed and fix tested by merdely@.
- fix possible 100% cpu usage in full-duplex mode
- fix net client/server
- add @bin markers to PLIST
This package provides a couple of tools to cut and cat MP3 audio files
at the frame level.
* mp3cut uses a so called 'cue sheet' to cut an MP3 audio file into
individual pieces (usually tracks)
* mp3cat concatenates the audio data from one or more MP3 files
* cddb2cue generates a cue file from a CDDB file
from Girish Venkatachalam
This module provides an interface for extracting data from CDDB-format
data files, as used by freedb. It does not read data from your CD, or
submit information to freedb.
from Girish Venkatachalam
The script scans the given directories for media files with known file
name extensions and writes the names into a playlist file in M3U,
extended M3U or PLS format. Those very simple formats are used or at
least understood by the vast majority of media players on different
platforms.
For huge collections which have to be rescanned after adding or
modifying some files, the program can cache the meta data to speed up
subsequent runs.
from maintainer Girish Venkatachalam,
reworked to use python.port.mk and setuptools by wcmaier@
it makes more sense to add devhelp as run_depends for gnome-session and
leave it to the user to install it manually for other packages

MilkyTracker is an open source, multi-platform music application for
creating .MOD and .XM module files. It attempts to recreate the module
replay and user experience of the popular DOS program Fasttracker II,
with special playback modes available for improved Amiga ProTracker 2/3
compatibility.
ok simon@
- don't bother trying to fix compiler optimization flag tests. they're
badly broken/linux spcific, and we don't use them anyway.
- the net source client became a "real" client (executable), instead of
an "in process" client (plugin)
- previous sun_driver patches accepted upstream, plus:
* fix cycle timing in duplex mode by moving calculations and function
calls out of the poll() synchronization loop
* shorten xrun and silence writing/reading messages
* remove unused variables
* attempt to stop continuous playback underruns in duplex mode that are
caused by the capture buffer overrunning
* try harder to make sure we have pristine buffers after
sun_driver_start()
* use native endian audio encodings
* report a delay when poll() times out, instead of effectively running
a null cycle
now jack works on my r10k sgi :)
