by Trevor Johnson

Aumix is for changing the settings on your hardware mixer. It works with the OSS API. It has X11 and ncurses GUIs, but can also be used from scripts. what's new in this version: - the "mute" script is always installed (Christian Weisgerber) - a manual page was added for the "mute" script (Bas Zoetekouw) - the xaumix(1) man page follows standards better - the GTK+ record/play indicators have distinct shapes, so they can be differentiated by color-blind users or on a monochrome display - the record/play indicators can be hidden - the GTK "Load from" and "Save to" dialog windows close after the user makes a selection (Thierry Vignaud) - non-ASCII text displays correctly with GTK+ 2.x (G\xf6tz Waschk, Roland Stigge and Thierry Vignaud) - Catalan translation (Ernest Adrogu\xe9) - Italian translation (Cristian Rigamonti) - support for the Linux device filesystem (Pixel of Mandrakesoft) source: http://jpj.net/~trevor/aumix/aumix-2.9.tar.bz2 home page: http://jpj.net/~trevor/aumix.html -- Trevor Johnson

StretchPlayer 0.500 - Audio player with time stretch and pitch shift

by Gabriel M. Beddingfield

I am pleased to release StrechPlayer 0.500, a time-stretching, pitch-shifting audio file player. It is powered by librubberband, and also features an A/B repeat. This is the first release of StretchPlayer. LINKS ----- Home Page: http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/stretchplayer/ Tarball: http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/stretchplayer/stretchplayer-0.500.tar.bz2 Git: http://gitorious.org/stretchplayer git://gitorious.org/stretchplayer/stretchplayer.git USING THE PROGRAM ----------------- You will need at least a 1200 MHz processor to use this program. It also requires the following libraries: * Qt >= 4.4 http://qt.nokia.com * librubberband http://www.breakfastquay.com/rubberband/ * libsndfile http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/ * JACK http://jackaudio.org/ * CMake http://www.cmake.org/ After building, run the program like this: $ stretchplayer The GUI is pretty self-explanatory, and if you hover over the controls a tool-tip should appear. The GUI also has several keyboard accelerators. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ---------------- My sincere thanks to Chris Cannam for publishing the RubberBand library. I've wanted this thing since I was in High School. :-) Peace, Gabriel M. Beddingfield
