| ac3dec | 1.0.2 | GPL | A free AC-3 stream decoder | This software is completely useless to 99.99 percent of users out there. It is mostly of use to those interested in audio coding research and evaluating codecs. It could theoretically be used as a portion of a DVD playback system for unix systems. |
| ac3jack | 0.1.2 | GPL | Jack audio to ac3 surround converter | ac3jack is a tool for creating an AC-3 (Dolby Digital) multichannel stream from its JACK input ports. Using this tool, an AC-3 stream (up to 5.1 channels) is created in real time and either written to a file or streamed to standard output. When streamed to stdout and piped through the ALSA tool ac3dec -C, the AC-3 stream can be passed out the SPDIF port on your audio interface for connection to a multichannel surround receiver. In this way, you can achieve full 5.1 surround mixing and monitoring of your JACK applications with a single digital cable, and no need for hardware supporting discrete outputs and inputs. AC-3 is a compressed audio stream, so quality will suffer somewhat, but it is the price you pay for easy surround sound. After all, if it is good enough for DVD and film soundtracks, it must be OK. |

| cdcd | 0.6.4 | GPL | Command line based cd player with cddb support. | cdcd takes a different approach from conventional console (or X) based CD players, in that it doesn't keep with the display-oriented paradigm. Conventional computer-based CD players resemble traditional physical CD players. This is fine, if your user interface consists of 10 buttons. However, computers have keyboards, so why not use them? Besides, it's certainly a waste of a console or an xterm to have a traditional CD player open anyway. |

| gnometab | 0.7.4 | GPL | Gnometab aims to be a WYSIWIG guitar tablature editor. | Gnometab aims to be a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) tablature editor. Gnometab's features include copying and pasting of tablature passages, a chord library (which the user must fill with chords), professional-looking rhythm notation (not perfect yet), the ability to create a variety of tablature symbols specific to the guitar -- bends, slurs (hammer-ons, pull-offs, etc.), etc. And, of course, clean-looking printed output, given any postscript-compatible printer. Gnometab does not attempt to be "smart", i.e., it does not know how many beats are in a measure, nor does it know an E chord from an Am chord. Instead, the emphasis has been on the appearance of the output. |
| gnuitar | 0.3.1 | GPL | Real-time guitar effects | This is a program for real-time sound effect processing. Probably could be used not only for guitar. It has GTK interface and uses OSS sound driver. Includes effects: o wah-wah o sustain o two flavours of distortion o reverberator, echo, delay o tremolo o vibrato o chorus/flanger o phasor o noise gate |
| gnusound | 0.6.2 | GPL | A Gnu sound editor | A gnu sound editor |
| gphone | 0.5.2 | GPL | Gphone is an internet telephone | Gphone is an internet telephone. As the name implies, it aims to be fully gnome-groovy, but that hasn't quite happened yet. Gphone is definitely a work in progress and you probably shouldn't bet your business on it. Don't be too hard on the program, though -- although the user interface is mighty rough, gphone does actually work pretty well. I've only tested the program over ethernet, but the data rate should be low enough to work over a reasonable modem connection. The protocol is nominally RTP/RTCP, and gphone complies well enough with the standard to be able to talk to speakfreely. I've only tested the UNIX version of speakfreely, but as long as you tell sfmike to use RTP and GSM compression, it seems to work fine. Maybe someday I'll add in support for other codecs; encryption is a little less likely because I'd just as soon not open that legal can of worms. One easy way to get some security would be to modify my program rtptunnel to tunnel the RTP protocol through a SSL socket instead of a straight TCP socket. |
| gqmpeg | 0.20.0 | GPL | Frontend to mpg123. | GQmpeg is a frontend to mpg123. It includes playlist support and all the usual playing features. Random, repeat, etc. And supports custom skins (looks) Uilitizes the GTK library. Requires mpg123 v 0.59q |
| gramofile | 1.6 | GPL | Transfer sound from gramophone records to CD | GramoFile enables you to record audio from (for example) gramophone records, process the signal and listen to the results. Because sound files in .WAV-format are used, it is possible to exchange the files with many other programs. Cdrecord(1) can burn CD-Recordables of these, so you can make CDs with the music of your favorite records. The user interface of GramoFile has a windows-like look-and-feel, making it fairly easy to use. One of the most important parts of GramoFile is the ability to process digital audio signals. Through the application of several filters it is possible to accomplish a significant reduction of disturbances like ticks and scratches. These filters have been programmed in such a fashion that they can be applied in any order (and multiple times) in a single run, thus avoiding the use of temporary files. It is possible to adjust the properties of each filter independently, so in every situation an optimal result can be achieved. Another interesting feature is the track splitting. Just make one .wav file of an entire side of an record and GramoFile will detect where the individual tracks are located. This happens fully automatically, without need to set any options. More experienced users may fine-tune the algorithm, or change the detected track starts and ends, but generally that will not be necessary. Track-times are saved in an editable (plaintext) .tracks file, that will be used during the signal processing to produce one processed .wav file for each individual track. To record and play .wav files, modified versions of brec(1) and bplay(1) by David Monro are included. These programs provide buffered recording and playback, so all will go well even on a highly loaded system. Both programs have been modified to support the standard GramoFile user interface. Brec also got a `graphical' peak level meter, and bplay a running time display. |
| grip | 3.1.4 | GPL | Grip, a CD player and ripper/MP3-encoder front-end | Grip is a gtk-based cd-player and cd-ripper.

| libsamplerate-progs | 0.0.15 | GPL | Audio Sample Rate Converter | Secret Rabbit Code (aka libsamplerate) is a Sample Rate Converter for audio. One example of where such a thing would be useful is converting audio from the CD sample rate of 44.1kHz to the 48kHz sample rate used by DAT players. SRC is capable of arbitrary and time varying conversions ; from downsampling by a factor of 12 to upsampling by the same factor. Arbitrary in this case means that the ratio of input and output sample rates can be an irrational number. The conversion ratio can also vary with time for speeding up and slowing down effects. SRC provides a small set of converters to allow quality to be traded off against computation cost. The current best converter provides a signal-to-noise ratio of 97dB with -3dB passband extending from DC to 96% of the theoretical best bandwidth for a given pair of input and output sample rates. This package contains a command line utility based on libsamplerate. |
