| * 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 |

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)
See also the DyneBolicSoftwareList
Features
- What about if I could install a new application on my hard-disk and then burn a new Dynebolic Bootable CD including it?
- Xfree
- resolution change
- synaptics touch pad driver (really needed for laptops)
- multiple monitor support
- kernel 2.6
Necessary kernel extensions "squashfs" and "OpenMosix" are not available for kernel versions above 2.4.22. -martin
- Drivers (hardware support) for:
WebCam Go (Creative Labs). Driver: [http://go.lamarinapunto.com/modules/news/ w9968cf] -axeloide
- Wacom Graphire II tablet mouse - I can't use dynebolic at all as I only have the tablet: X-Evian includes support for this already so I suspect drivers are easilyavailable.
'Winmodem' drivers, alot of off the shelf computers come with conexant software modems. There are drivers for these at [http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/] that would be a good help using d:b on any computer. (EDIT: They are only free as in beer, not as in speech >_< )
Prism gt wireless chipset, http://prism54.org
- vloopback
Applications
Litestream, audio streaming server [http://www.litestream.org/]

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
