Hello everybody, At http://hortus-mechanicus.net/perl/audio-ladspa/ you can find my attempts at making a LADSPA interface for Perl. The LADSPA API should be completely supported, but at the moment the system only supports mono audio out (via Audio::Play) and no way of reading/writing audio files. There is also a crude GUI at: http://hortus-mechanicus.net/perl/audio-ladspa/rack.perl.txt To use the GUI you need to have perl-tk installed. Bugreports / missing features welcome. Joost Diepenmaat. --- README follows --- Audio::LADSPA ============== This is a set of extensions to host LADSPA plugins, you can query them, or apply them to audio data. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Or, if you prefer the CPAN installer, type: perl -MCPAN -e'install Audio::LADSPA' Which will fetch, make and install the module for you. DEPENDENCIES LADSPA dependencies: The tests specifically need the demo plugins from the ladspa_sdk package, with LADSPA_PATH pointing to the directory where they are installed. You do not have to set the LADSPA_PATH environment variable if your LADSPA plugins are located in either /usr/lib/ladspa or /usr/local/lib/ladspa, but you will be warned when the modules are loaded. You'll probably want to set it anyway, because most other LADSPA hosts need it. You can download the sdk from from http://www.ladspa.org/ Debian users can use "apt-get install ladspa-sdk" Alternatively, you can skip the tests, but these modules are of no use without at least SOME plugins installed. CPAN dependencies: Also, this extension requires the following Perl modules; Test::More, Audio::Play, Scalar::Util, Data::Uniqid and Graph::Directed Install them first from CPAN. Alternatively, if you're installing using the CPAN or CPANPLUS shell, this can be taken care of automatically.
