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

JACK Audio Connection Kit
X resolution change
multiple monitor support
kernel 2.6

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 continuuosly - 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/]
Litestream, audio streaming server [http://www.litestream.org/]
Rexima, commandline volume mixer [http://rus.members.beeb.net/rexima.html]
- why? it does nothing that aumix doesn't do. -martin
Rivendell, a radio broadcast solution [http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/]

With JACK support

CheeseTracker, tracker [http://www.reduz.com.ar/cheesetronic/index.php?section=2]
Hydrogen, drum machine [http://hydrogen.sf.net/]
SpiralSynth Modular, nice modular synthy thingy [http://www.pawfal.org/Software/SSM/]

Only useful when JACK is available

Ardour, hard disc recorder [http://ardour.sf.net/]
Creox, a real time sound processor, [http://www.uid0.sk/zyzstar/?creox]
Freqtweak, super cool frequency band mangler [http://freqtweak.sf.net/]
JACK-Rack, LADSPA effectbox [http://pkl.net/~node/jack-rack.html/]
qjackctl, extremely handy JACK controller [http://qjackctl.sf.net/]
xmms-jack, allows xmms to play over JACK [http://xmms-jack.sf.net/]
SuperCollider, real time audio programming language [http://supercollider.sf.net/]
- This is still in cvs, but already quite usable, Linux version will probably be in cvs for a long long while,
  - so it would be kewl to include it anyway, oh and there's already a Debian package somewhere)
