LilyPond is a music typesetter, an automated engraving system. It
produces beautiful sheet music using a high level description file as input.

LilyPond supports many forms of music notation constructs, including
chord names, drum notation, figured bass, grace notes, guitar tablature,
modern notation (cluster notation and rhythmic grouping), tremolos,
(nested) tuplets in arbitrary ratios, and more.

LilyPond's text-based music input language support can integrate into
LaTeX, HTML and Texinfo seamlessly, allowing single sheet music
or musicological treatises to be written from a single source. Form and
content are separate, and with LilyPond's expert automated formatting,
users don't need typographical expertise to produce good notation.

LilyPond produces PDF, PostScript, SVG, or TeX printed output, as well
as MIDI for listening pleasures. LilyPond is exported from the
RoseGarden and NoteEdit GUIs, and can import ABC, ETF and MIDI.

LilyPond is part of the GNU Project.

OpenCOLLADA is a stream based reader and writer library for COLLADA files

The xsynth-dssi package contains the Xsynth-DSSI plugin,
a classic-analog (VCOs-VCF-VCA) style software synthesizer
with an editor GUI. Xsynth-DSSI was written by Sean Bolton,
and was based on Steve Brooke's Xsynth code, but has since
aquired polyphonic operation, band-limited oscillators,
a better filter mode, and velocity-sensitive envelopes.

Blender is a 3D modelling and rendering package. It is the in-house
software of a high quality animation studio, Blender has proven to
be an extremely fast and versatile design instrument. The software
has a personal touch, offering a unique approach to the world of
Three Dimensions. Use Blender to create TV commercials, to make
technical visualizations, business graphics, to do some morphing,
or design user interfaces. You can easy build and manage complex
environments. The renderer is versatile and extremely fast. All
basic animation principles (curves & keys) are well implemented.It
includes tools for modeling, sculpting, texturing (painting,
node-based shader materials, or UV mapped), UV mapping, rigging and
constraints, weight painting, particle systems, simulation (fluids,
physics, and soft body dynamics and an external crowd simulator),
rendering, node-based compositing, and non linear video editing,
as well as an integrated game engine for real-time interactive 3D
and game creation and playback with cross-platform compatibility.

Clementine is a modern music player and library organiser. Clementine is a
port of Amarok 1.4, with some features rewritten to take advantage of Qt4.

Features:

* Search and play your local music library
* Listen to internet radio from Last.fm and SomaFM
* Edit tags on MP3 and OGG files, organise your music
* Cross-platform - works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux
* Native desktop notifications on Linux (libnotify) and Mac OS X (Growl)

FFADO aims to provide a generic, open-source solution
to support FireWire(IEEE1394, iLink) based (semi-)
professional audio interfaces.
It's the successor of the FreeBoB project. FFADO is a
volunteer-based community effort, trying to provide Linux
with at least the same level of functionality that is
present on the other operating systems.
The range of FireWire Audio Devices that we would like
to support is broad: from pure audio interfaces over
mixed audio-control devices to DSP algorithm devices.
This is a snapshot of svn revision 1855

Hydrogen is an advanced drum machine for GNU/Linux.
It's main goal is to bring professional yet simple and intuitive
pattern-based drum programming. sequencer MIDI input.
Very user-friendly, modular, fast and intuitive graphical
interface based on QT4.
Sample-based stereo audio engine, with import of sound samples
in .wav, .au and .aiff formats.
Pattern-based sequencer, with unlimited number of patterns and
ability to chain patterns into a song.
Up to 64 ticks per pattern with individual level per event and
variable pattern length.
32 instrument tracks with volume, mute, solo, pan capabilities.
Multi layer support for instruments (up to 16 samples for each
instrument).
Ability to import/export song files.
Unique human velocity, human time, pitch and swing functions.
Multiple patterns playing at once.
JACK, ALSA, PortAudio and OSS audio drivers.
ALSA MIDI input with assignable midi-in channel (1..16, ALL).

With Kid3 you can:
* Edit ID3v1.1 tags
* Edit all ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4 frames
* Convert between ID3v1.1, ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4 tags
* Edit tags in MP3, Ogg/Vorbis, FLAC, MPC, MP4/AAC, MP2, Speex,
TrueAudio, WavPack, WMA, WAV and AIFF files
* Edit tags of multiple files, e.g. the artist, album, year and
genre of all files of an album typically have the same values and can
be set together.
* Generate tags from filenames
* Generate filenames from tags
* Rename and create directories from tags
* Generate playlist files
* Automatically convert upper and lower case and replace strings
* Import from gnudb.org, TrackType.org, MusicBrainz, Discogs, Amazon
and other sources of album data
* Export tags as CSV, HTML, playlists, Kover XML and in other formats

Libconfig is a simple library for processing structured configuration files, like this one: test.cfg. This file format is more compact and more readable than XML. And unlike XML, it is type-aware, so it is not necessary to do string parsing in application code.

Libconfig is very compact — just 38K for the stripped C shared library (less than one-fourth the size of the expat XML parser library) and 66K for the stripped C++ shared library. This makes it well-suited for memory-constrained systems like handheld devices.

The library includes bindings for both the C and C++ languages. It works on POSIX-compliant UNIX systems (GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, FreeBSD) and Windows (2000, XP and later).

D-Bus is a message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to one another. In addition to interprocess communication, D-Bus helps coordinate process lifecycle; it makes it simple and reliable to code a "single instance" application or daemon, and to launch applications and daemons on demand when their services are needed.

See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus-c%2B%2B for more information.

Notes:
- both rpm and deb based distros are building somehow

to-do:
- fix the distros that do not build
- figure out why Ubuntu 7.04/amd64 had expansion errors
- verify content of built packages
- use orig + diff file for rpm based distros, change spec accordingly
