Perl 5.7.3 and later ships with an adequate set of Chinese encodings,
including the most used CP950, CP936 (also known as GBK), Big5,
Big5-HKSCS, EUC-CN, HZ, and ISO-IR-165.

However, the numbers of Chinese encodings are staggering, and a
complete coverage will easily increase the size of perl distribution by
several megabytes; hence, this CPAN module tries to provide the rest of
them.

pmidi is a command line MIDI player for ALSA.

PortAudio is a portable audio I/O library designed for cross-platform
support of audio. It uses a callback mechanism to request audio
processing. Audio can be generated in various formats, including 32 bit
floating point, and will be converted to the native format internally.

This package provides the Python binding to ALSA.

JACK Audio Connection Kit - Qt GUI Interface: A simple Qt application
to control the JACK server. Written in C++ around the Qt4 toolkit
for X11, most exclusively using Qt Designer. Provides a simple GUI
dialog for setting several JACK server parameters, which are properly
saved between sessions, and a way control of the status of the audio
server. With time, this primordial interface has become richer by
including a enhanced patchbay and connection control features.

The resample program is a high-quality resampling program. For example,
it can be used to convert the sampling rate from 48 kHz (used by DAT
machines) to 44.1 kHz (the standard sampling rate for Compact Discs).

Seq24 is a real-time midi sequencer. It was created to provide a very
simple interface for editing and playing MIDI 'loops.'

Snd is a sound editor modelled loosely after Emacs and an old,
sorely-missed PDP-10 sound editor named Dpysnd. It can accommodate any
number of sounds each with any number of channels and can be customized
and extended using guile and guile-gtk.

Solfege is an eartraining program for X written in python, using
the GTK+ and GNOME libraries. To use this software you need some
basic knowledge about music theory. Using solfege you can learn
to recognise melodic and harmonic intervals, compare interval
sizes, sing the intervals the computer asks for, identify chords,
sing chords, scales, dictation and remember rhythmic patterns.

Speex is a patent free audio codec designed especially for voice
(unlike Vorbis which targets general audio) signals and providing good
narrowband and wideband quality. This project aims to be complementary
to the Vorbis codec.

StGIT is a Python application providing similar functionality to Quilt
(i.e. pushing/popping patches to/from a stack) on top of GIT. These
operations are performed using GIT commands and the patches are stored
as GIT commit objects, allowing easy merging of the StGIT patches into
other repositories using standard GIT functionality.

TiMidity plays MIDI files without external MIDI instruments and
converts MIDI files to WAV using GUS/patch and SoundFont for voice
data.

Vkeybd is a virtual keyboard (as in musical instrument) for AWE32/64,
raw MIDI, and ALSA sequencer drivers. It is written in Tcl/Tk. Enjoy
playing music with your "computer" keyboard.

This package contains some tools for Ogg Vorbis: oggenc (an encoder)
and ogg123 (a playback tool).

ZynAddSubFX is a many-featured real-time software synthesizer for
Linux. Features include polyphony and multitimbrel and microtonal
capabilities. It includes randomness of some parameters, which can make
warm sounds, like analog synthesizers. This program has system and
insertion effects, too.

ALSA stands for Advanced Linux Sound Architecture. It supports many
PCI, ISA PnP and USB sound cards.

This package contains the ALSA init scripts to start the sound system
on your Linux box. To set it up, run yast2 or alsaconf.

Various firmware data files for ALSA drivers.

This package contains the wrapper library and script to run OSS
applications using ALSA API.

This package contains the extra plug-ins for the ALSA library.

Various tools for ALSA including DSP loaders.

This package contains utility programs supporting ALSA, Advanced Linux
Sound Architecture.

AlsaMixerGui is an FLTK-based front-end for alsamixer. It is written
directly on top of the alsamixer source, so it should provide the same
functionality.

AsciiDoc is a text document format for writing short documents,
articles, books, and UNIX man pages. AsciiDoc files can be translated
to HTML and DocBook markups using the asciidoc command.

ASeqView is an ALSA sequencer user client that works as an event viewer
and event filter. It visualizes received events, such as note on and
off, controls, and pitch wheels, using bar graphs as seen in many
sequencer applications.

Aubio is a library for real time audio labelling. Its features include
segmenting a sound file before each of its attacks, performing pitch
detection, tapping the beat and producing midi streams from live audio.
The name aubio comes from 'audio' with a typo: several transcription
errors are likely to be found in the results too.
