Hydrogen is a software synthesizer which can be used alone, emulating
a drum machine based on patterns, or via an external MIDI
keyboard/sequencer software.

It features a modular and graphical interface based on QT5, has a
sample-based stereo audio engine, with import of sound samples in PCM
formats. Furthermore, a pattern-based sequencer with the ability to
chain patterns into a song. Up to 64 ticks per pattern with
individual level per event and variable pattern length are possible.
32 instrument tracks with volume, mute, solo, pan capabilities are
provided, and there is multi-layer support for instruments (up to 16
samples for each instrument). Human velocity, human time, pitch and
swing functions are implemented as well.

With Kid3 you can:
* Edit ID3v1.1 tags
* Edit all ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4 frames
* Convert between ID3v1.1, ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4 tags
* Edit tags in MP3, Ogg/Vorbis, FLAC, MPC, MP4/AAC, MP2, Speex, TrueAudio, WavPack, WMA, WAV and AIFF files
* Edit tags of multiple files, e.g. the artist, album, year and genre of all files of an album typically have the same values and can be set together.
* Generate tags from filenames
* Generate filenames from tags
* Rename and create directories from tags
* Generate playlist files
* Automatically convert upper and lower case and replace strings
* Import from gnudb.org, TrackType.org, MusicBrainz, Discogs, Amazon and other sources of album data
* Export tags as CSV, HTML, playlists, Kover XML and in other formats

LilyPond supports many forms of music notation constructs, including
chord names, drum notation, figured bass, grace notes, guitar tablature,
modern notation (cluster notation and rhythmic grouping), tremolos,
(nested) tuplets in arbitrary ratios, and more.

LilyPond's text-based music input language support can integrate into
LaTeX, HTML and Texinfo seamlessly, allowing single sheet music
or musicological treatises to be written from a single source. Form and
content are separate, and with LilyPond's expert automated formatting,
users don't need typographical expertise to produce good notation.

LilyPond produces PDF, PostScript, SVG, or TeX printed output, as well
as MIDI for listening pleasures. LilyPond is exported from the
RoseGarden and NoteEdit GUIs, and can import ABC, ETF and MIDI.

LilyPond is part of the GNU Project.

Nulloy is a simple and clean music player with a Waveform
Progressbar. It is written in C++ using QT.

This program is an audio-player, written with help of Qt library.

Qtractor is an Audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written
in C++ around the Qt4 toolkit. The initial target platform will be Linux,
where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio, and the Advanced
Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI, are the main infrastructures
to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux Desktop Audio Workstation GUI,
specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

Rosegarden is a music composition and editing environment based around a MIDI sequencer that features a rich understanding of music notation and includes basic support for digital audio.
Rosegarden is an easy-to-learn, attractive application that runs on Linux, ideal for composers, musicians, music students, and small studio or home recording environments.
See the changelog for details.

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.

This package is only for lilypond and not for human consumption. Do not use.

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.

This project is a central place for audio, video and image libraries for parsing multimedia data (also known as codecs), tags or containers. It is also a place for multimedia data processing libraries.
Command line utilities without GUI toolkit dependencies can be placed into this project as well. Please don't place end-user GUI based applications here, put them into multimedia:apps. Base your project on packages in this project instead.

This project also serves as development project for packages around this topic in the openSUSE:Factory distribution. If you want to participate you can contact us individually or use our mailinglist opensuse-packaging@opensuse.org. Please report bugs to the respective bugowners as set.

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.

Audaspace (pronounced "outer space") is a high level audio library written
in C++ with language bindings for Python for example. It started out as the
audio engine of the 3D modelling application Blender and is now released as
a standalone library.

The FFADO project aims to provide a generic, open-source solution for the support of FireWire based audio devices for the Linux platform. It is the successor of the FreeBoB project.

FFADO is a volunteer-based community effort, trying to provide Linux with at least the same level of functionality that is present on the other operating systems.

FFmpeg is a multimedia framework, able to decode, encode,
transcode, mux, demux, stream, filter and play several formats
that humans and machines have created.

FluidSynth-DSSI is the plug-in implementation of fluidsynth on DSSI
(Disposable Soft Synth Interface) with a GTK+ GUI.

This package provides a collection of video sources and filters plugins,
using the Frei0r API.

JACK is a low-latency audio server written primarily for the Linux
operating system. It can connect a number of different applications to
an audio device, as well as allow them to share audio between
themselves. Its clients can run in their own processes (as a normal
application), or they can run within a JACK server (as a plug-in).

The Linux Audio Developer's Simple Plug-in API (LADSPA) provides the
ability to write simple plug-in audio processors in C/C++ and link them
dynamically. The package contains the LADSPA SDK, the CMT plug-in
libraries (including Freeverb), and the swh plug-ins.

This package provides a collection of LADSPA (Linux Audio Developer's
Simple Plug-in API) plugins written by Steve Harris.

LASH (formerly LADCCA) is a session management system for JACK and ALSA
audio applications on GNU/Linux. Its aim is to allow you to have many
different audio programs running at once and to save the setup, close
them down, then reload the setup at some other time.

Libburn is a library for writing preformatted data onto optical media such as
CD, DVD, BD (Blu-Ray) and also offers a facility for reading data blocks from
its drives without using the normal block device I/O.

D-Bus is a message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to one another. In addition to interprocess communication, D-Bus helps coordinate process lifecycle; it makes it simple and reliable to code a "single instance" application or daemon, and to launch applications and daemons on demand when their services are needed.

See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus-c%2B%2B for more information.

Notes:
- both rpm and deb based distros are building somehow

to-do:
- fix the distros that do not build
- figure out why Ubuntu 7.04/amd64 had expansion errors
- verify content of built packages
- use orig + diff file for rpm based distros, change spec accordingly
