Sweep 0.5.7 Development Release
-------------------------------
Sweep is a sound wave editor, and it is now also generally useful as a
flexible recording and playback tool. Inside lives a pesky little virtual
stylus called Scrubby who enjoys mixing around in your files.
This development release is available as a source tarball at:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sweep/sweep-0.5.7.tar.gz?download
This version includes support for Ogg Vorbis import and export, including
both variable and average bitrate encoding modes. There are many other
user interface updates, including new input controls for sample rates and
channels, and question, information and system error dialogs.
There is a new Screenshot tour of Sweep, including many screenshots of
the new dialogs and general editing. If you haven't seen Sweep lately, be
sure to check it out:

Summary of library dependencies:
* GTK+ 1.2 (standard in most distributions)
* libsndfile-1.0.x, available from:
http://www.zip.com.au/~erikd/libsndfile/
* libtdb, available in many distributions or at:
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/tdb
* Ogg Vorbis (libogg and libvorbis 1.0 packages), standard
in most distributions and available from:
http://www.vorbis.com/

Sweep is designed to be intuitive and to give you full control. It includes
almost everything you would expect in a sound editor, and then some:
* precise, vinyl like scrubbing
* looped, reverse, and pitch-controlled playback
* playback mixing of unlimited independent tracks
* looped and reverse recording
* internationalisation
* multichannel and 32 bit floating point file support
* LADSPA 1.1 effects support
* multiple views, discontinuous selections
* easy keybindings, mouse wheel zooming
* unlimited undo/redo with fully revertible edit history
* multithreaded background processing
* shaded peak/mean waveform rendering, multiple colour schemes
Help wanted! Sweep needs testing; please report any problems encountered!
Urgent development is required in the following areas: ALSA and Jack support,
updating of translations and user documentation. (NB. Sweep works fine with
ALSA under OSS emulation -- the native ALSA support needs some fixing).
Sweep is Free Software, available under the GNU General Public License.

GStreamer Pipeline Editor "Thanks for all the fish" 0.2.0 released
A first release of gst-editor, the GStreamer graphical pipeline
editor, is now available for public consumption! This tool allows
easy, graphical construction, inspection, and operation of media
processing pipelines. It can be used as a rapid prototyping tool as
well as a method to learn more about [1]GStreamer. More information
about gst-editor is available on the project's [2]home page.
Work on gst-editor was originally started in 2000 by Erik Walthinsen,
but was left unfinished and unmaintained for a year or two.
Development was picked up in mid-2002 by Andy Wingo, resulting in a
port to Gnome 2, adaptation to the current GStreamer API, and general
UI improvements and modularization. While much progress has been made
in the area of stabilization, crashes still occur from time to time.
Reproduceable bugs should be reported to [3]Gnome bugzilla.
To rehash, for the impatient: THIS CODE IS VERY ALPHA.
Screenshots
* Thomas Vander Stichele took [4]this shot while designing the
pipeline topology for a radio station mixing project:
"It shows two decoding threads that read files from disk,
connected to an adder, which does threaded output (in the
actual app, osssink is replaced again by tee, which sends
data to various output methods).
"After some experimentation, this seemed to be the ideal
pipeline setup, which I was able to verify by setting the
whole pipeline to play (using the buttons at the bottom), then
only pausing the adder (as shown in the screenshot - see the
adder being in pause and everything else in play). Pressing
pause here kept osssink playing for a little bit more until
the queue is empty. In the app, this gives me the time to
disconnect an input pipe, or connect a new one, with the adder
being paused, so as to have seamless playback."
* Andy made [5]this shot while playing around with [6]LADSPA
plugins. Note the automatically generated controls for element
properties, as well as the quick launch palette showing all
available elements.
Download
gst-editor requires GStreamer 0.4.1. It could probably work with
0.4.0, but that is untested.
You can find the source release of gst-player in [7]tar.gz format.
RPM packages will be available from our [9]apt for rpm repository, and
Debian packages should be coming soon to an experimental near you.
Maintainer needed
Andy is heading off to teach physics in rural Namibia for two years.
Needless to say, he won't be doing much development on the editor.
Patches should be submitted to the [10]gstreamer-devel mailing list.

Just a quick note to let you know there is now a sourceforge page for SSM:

The CVS version is a bit ropey at the moment, but feel free to check it out
and flood the bug tracker :)
All the best,
