Dynebolic Wishlist

This is a Dynebolic wishlist. If you want something added to Dynebolic, you can add it here. Please only add software that is free (as in speech).

Please say who you are that wants it, and why (say something about it)

Features

Applications

  • Sweep, audio processor [http://sweep.sf.net/]

    • Sweep has a problem: it keeps all of the soundfile in RAM (or swap), whereas rezound uses swapfiles of its own in the same directory as the audio file. In a typical dynebolic situation, the user has audio files on a big (windows) hard disk partition, but no swap, so sweep would not work on large files. Sweep is built with the GNU-head philosophy that lack of physical memory is a hardware problem : ( -martin
    • It also can't play audio continuously - the audio cuts out briefly when the display flips from page to page, even when you run it as root. -martin
    • The user-interface is prettier than rezound. Do we care? -martin
    • The scratching feature is infantile. TerminatorX does this better. -martin
  • GNUsound, audio processor [http://gnusound.sf.net/]

    • The page says that GNUsound is an audio editor that always writes files as WAV. How many soundfile editors do we need?
  • Litestream, audio streaming server [http://www.litestream.org/]

  • Rexima, commandline volume mixer [http://rus.members.beeb.net/rexima.html]

  • Rivendell, a radio broadcast solution [http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/]

With JACK support

Only useful when JACK is available

Dynebolic Unwishlist

What do you think should be removed from dynebolic, and why?

Features

Fluxbox

Fluxbox and Windowmaker seem to give almost exactly the same functionality. They seem as bad as each other to me, :) and having two systems to do the same thing increases complexity, and doubles the work in maintaining the menus etc etc. (which, in practice, is not done: in d:b 1.1.1, the flux box menu is months out of date and does not reflect reality.) -martin

Applications

Lives video editor

LiVES decodes each frame into a single JPEG file in /tmp. 3 hours of Lord of the Rings at 25 frames per second is a LOT of files, never mind the disk space. LiVES is unusable as a direct result of this. Another video editor (cinelerra) just moves up and down the file and seems to have little problem with even the largest file. This is the right approach. -martin, quoting jimbo
