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.

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
