libebur128 is a C library that implements the EBU R 128 standard for loudness normalisation.

SoundTouch is an audio processing library for changing the tempo, pitch and playback rates of audio streams or audio files. It is intended for application developers writing sound processing tools that require tempo/pitch control functionality, or just for playing around with the sound effects.

yabridgectl is a tool to setup and update yabridge.

This is a free software version of SGI's audiofile library. It provides a uniform programming interface for processing of audio data to and from audio files of many common formats.

Currently supported file formats include AIFF/AIFF-C, WAVE, and NeXT/Sun .snd/.au, BICS, and raw data. Supported compression formats are currently G.711 mu-law and A-law.

audio-to-midi converts audio files to multichannel MIDI files. It accomplishes this by performing FFTs on all channels of the audio data at user-specified time steps. It then separates the resulting frequency analysis into equivalence classes which correspond to the twelve tone scale; the volume of each class being the average volume of its constituent frequencies. This data is then formatted to MIDI and written to disk.

qpwgraph is a graph manager dedicated to PipeWire, using the Qt C++ framework. It provides a visual interface to audio and video connections managed by PipeWire.

OpenSLES is a royalty-free, cross-platform, hardware-accelerated audio API tuned for embedded systems. It provides a standardized, high-performance, low-latency method to access audio functionality for developers of native applications on embedded mobile multimedia devices, enabling straightforward cross-platform deployment of hardware and software audio capabilities, reducing implementation effort, and promoting the market for advanced audio.

ALURE is a utility library to help manage common tasks with OpenAL applications. This includes device enumeration and initialization, file loading, and streaming.

libsoundio is a C library providing audio input and output. The API is suitable for real-time software such as digital audio workstations as well as consumer software such as music players.

This project is a rebirth of a direct integration between Bluez and ALSA. Since Bluez >= 5, the built-in integration has been removed in favor of 3rd party audio applications. From now on, Bluez acts as a middleware between an audio application, which implements Bluetooth audio profile, and a Bluetooth audio device. BlueALSA registers all known Bluetooth audio profiles in Bluez, so in theory every Bluetooth device (with audio capabilities) can be connected. In order to access the audio stream, one has to connect to the ALSA PCM device called bluealsa. The device is based on the ALSA software PCM plugin.

LibOFA is an audio fingerprint library, created and provided by MusicIP.

The Odio SACD shared library is a decoding engine which takes a Super Audio CD source and extracts a 24-bit high resolution WAV file. It handles both DST and DSD streams.

The AMB plugins are a set of LADSPA ambisonics plugins, mainly to be used within Ardour. Features include: mono and stereo to B-format panning, horizontal rotator, square, hexagon and cube decoders.

mp3guessenc is a command line utility that tries to detect the encoder used for an MPEG Layer III (MP3) file, as well as scan any MPEG audio file (any layer) and print a lot of useful information.

BS1770GAIN is a loudness scanner compliant with ITU-R BS.1770 and its flavors EBU R128, ATSC A/85, and ReplayGain 2.0. It helps normalizing the loudness of audio and video files to the same level.

LibTiMidity is a MIDI to WAVE converter library that uses Gravis Ultrasound-compatible patch files to generate digital audio data from General MIDI files.

JamesDSP is an audio effect processor for PipeWire and PulseAudio clients, featuring:

• Automatic bass boost: Frequency-detecting bass-boost

• Automatic dynamic range compressor: automated multiband dynamic range adjusting effect

• Complex reverberation IIR network (Progenitor 2)

• Interpolated FIR equalizer with flexible bands

• Arbitrary response equalizer (also known as GraphicEQ from EqualizerAPO)

• AutoEQ database integration (requires network connection)

• Partitioned convolver (Auto segmenting convolution): Mono, stereo, full/true stereo (LL, LR, RL, RR) impulse response

• Crossfeed: Realistic surround effects

• Soundstage wideness: A multiband stereo wideness controller

• ViPER-DDC: Parametric equalization on audio and creating VDC input files

• Analog modeling: An aliasing-free even harmonic generator

• Output limiter

• Scripting engine: Live programmable DSP using the EEL2 scripting language

• Scripting IDE featuring syntax highlighting, basic code completion, dynamic code outline window, console output support and detailed error messages with inline code highlighting

Snd is a sound editor modelled loosely after Emacs. It can be customized and extended using either the s7 Scheme implementation (included in the Snd sources), Ruby, or Forth.

C.A.V.A. is a bar audio spectrum visualizer for the terminal using ALSA, MPD, PulseAudio, or a FIFO buffer as its input.

This package provides a simple sound library for C++.

The LV2 Toolkit (LVTK) contains libraries that wrap the LV2 C API and extensions into easy to use C++ classes. It is the successor of lv2-c++-tools.

Jalv is a simple but fully featured LV2 host for JACK. It runs LV2 plugins and exposes their ports as JACK ports, essentially making any LV2 plugin function as a JACK application.

python-pysox is a wrapper around the sox command line tool. The API offers Transformer and Combiner classes that allow the user to incrementally build up effects and audio manipulations. python-pysox also provides methods for querying audio information such as sample rate, determining whether an audio file is silent, and much more.

SoX (Sound eXchange) is a command line utility that can convert various formats of computer audio files to other formats. It can also apply various effects to these sound files, and, as an added bonus, SoX can play and record audio files.
