The jack_mixer is a GTK+ JACK audio mixer app with a look & handling similar to hardware mixing desks. It has lot of useful features, apart from being able to mix multiple JACK audio streams.

PortAudio is a portable C/C++ audio I/O library providing a simple API to record and/or play sound using a callback function or a blocking read/write interface.

This package provides a C library for audio noise reduction and other spectral effects. It is based on the algorithms that were used in noise-repellent. These were extracted into a this standalone library to remove the lv2 dependency. It uses the concept of a spectral processor which itself uses a STFT to process the audio.

Suil is a lightweight C library for loading and wrapping LV2 plugin UIs.

Suil makes it possible to load a UI of a toolkit in a host using another toolkit. The API is designed such that hosts do not need to explicitly support specific toolkits – if Suil supports a particular toolkit, then UIs in that toolkit will work in all hosts that use Suil automatically.

Suil currently supports every combination of Gtk, Qt, and X11.

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.

clalsadrv is a C++ wrapper around the ALSA API simplifying access to ALSA PCM devices.

This is a PyQT GUI application to dynamically modify Pipewire and Wireplumber settings at runtime, such as quantum. sample rate, latency offset setting, services restart and more. It features side-by-side and graph style connections manager, pw-top wrapper, simple ALSA mixer and jack_delay GUI.

TTA performs lossless compression on multichannel 8,16 and 24 bits data of the Wav audio files. Being lossless means that no data- quality is lost in the compression - when uncompressed, the data will be identical to the original. The compression ratios of TTA depend on the type of music file being compressed, but the compression size will generally range between 30% - 70% of the original. TTA format supports both of ID3v1/v2 and APEv2 tags.

JACK is a low-latency audio server. It can connect a number of different applications to an audio device, as well as allowing them to share audio between themselves. JACK is different from other audio server efforts in that it has been designed from the ground up to be suitable for professional audio work. This means that it focuses on two key areas: synchronous execution of all clients, and low latency operation.

RNNoise is a library that uses deep learning to apply noise suppression to audio sources with voice presence. This package provides an LV2 audio plugin.

Butt is a tool to stream audio to a ShoutCast or Icecast server.

This package provides a JACK Audio Connection Kit (JACK) client for Python. This variant uses the compatibility JACK implementation provided by Pipewire.

TwoLAME is an optimised MPEG Audio Layer 2 (MP2) encoder based on tooLAME by Mike Cheng, which in turn is based upon the ISO dist10 code and portions of LAME.

Copies a stream, skipping everything except MP3 frames with valid headers. This can be used to copy and concatenate streams, even if they contain extra garbage.

This C library provides an encoder and a decoder for the GSM 06.10 RPE-LTP lossy speech compression algorithm.

CLAP stands for CLever Audio Plugin. It is an audio plugin ABI which defines a standard for Digital Audio Workstations and audio plugins to work together.

libmt32emu is a C/C++ library which approximately emulates the Roland MT-32, CM-32L and LAPC-I synthesizer modules. It is part of the Munt project.

Rakarrack is a richly featured multi-effects processor emulating a guitar effects pedalboard. Effects include compressor, expander, noise gate, equalizers, exciter, flangers, chorus, various delay and reverb effects, distortion modules and many more. Most of the effects engine is built from modules found in the excellent software synthesizer ZynAddSubFX. Presets and user interface are optimized for guitar, but Rakarrack processes signals in stereo while it does not apply internal band-limiting filtering, and thus is well suited to all musical instruments and vocals.

Libzita-resampler is a C++ library for resampling audio signals. It is designed to be used within a real-time processing context, to be fast, and to provide high-quality sample rate conversion.

Fluid-3 is Frank Wen's pro-quality GM soundfont.

Carla is a modular audio plugin host, with features like transport control, automation of parameters via MIDI CC and remote control over OSC. Carla currently supports LADSPA (including LRDF), DSSI, LV2, VST2, and VST3 plugin formats, plus SF2 and SFZ file support. It uses JACK as the default and preferred audio driver but also supports native drivers like ALSA.

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.

Tao is a software package for sound synthesis using physical models. It provides a virtual acoustic material constructed from masses and springs which can be used as the basis for building quite complex virtual musical instruments. Tao comes with a synthesis language for creating and playing instruments and a C++ API for those who would like to use it as an object library.

OpenAL provides capabilities for playing audio in a virtual 3D environment. Distance attenuation, doppler shift, and directional sound emitters are among the features handled by the API. More advanced effects, including air absorption, occlusion, and environmental reverb, are available through the EFX extension. It also facilitates streaming audio, multi-channel buffers, and audio capture.
